I say you just made that up.
I will rephrase it, 87 octane was used in fighter command for operational missions until the switchover to 100 Octane. However there is no evidence that 87 octane was used for combat missions after the switchover during the BOB from July onwards.

Now if you or Crumpp can supply any evidence that says 87 octane was used in operational missions in or after July 1940 a lot of people would be very interested.
