Everybody and his uncle "knows" the cat is dead, but it can't be proven until the box is opened.
So, everybody, and his uncle, "knows" there was only 100 oct. used by the active part of the FC, but as in "Schroeders cat" all possibilities are equal true until there is proof (box opened).

One side has evidence of widespread use if only the use of on average approx 10,000 tons a month until 100 Octane was issued to all operational commands. We know that Bomber Command, Coastal Command plus non operational units didn't use 100 Octane until August/September. So its worth trying to work out who was using 10,000 tons a month if it wasn't fighter command and no 2 Group.
I am very confident that Kurfursts couple of dozen sorties will not account for 10,000 tons.
That also ignores the other papers that I am not going to mention as they have been raised before
