With factory-new replacement fighters continually arriving at all airfields from July '40 onwards, I just can't see two sets of fuel bowsers crisscrossing each other in the dispersal area -- a combat zone, no less -- going from fighter to fighter asking "Premium or Regular?" "Do your windshield?" "Check your oil?"
Nope, one fuel only. And no one is putting 87 octane into a 100 octane-rated engine, but there would be no hesitation putting 100 octane into an older 87 octane-rated Merlin. Common sense and expediency rules in a combat zone.
Pass the grenades!
So devs -- give us our 12 lbs boost. This is what it's all about, isn't it?
