Sadly for you the use of 100 octane by the German fighters from the start of the Battle is documented in far greater detail than in the case of RAF Fighter Command. We know the exact dates, the exact units using the fuel, we have detailed records of German High Command meetings detailing these as well as British reports of captured fuel samples, photograph of downed aircraft and so on. We even know the exact amount of aircraft using the fuel at some date.
The envy and denial is all yours.
