Yep, because Bomber Command, Coastal Command OTUs etc etc were all still using 87 octane fuel. Barbi forgot to mention all those medium/heavy bombers flying boats et al which consumed rather a lot of 87 octane fuel. Fact is the RAF were confident enough in their reserves of 100 octane that orders were issued in early August that all commands could convert to using 100 octane - it took about a month but use of 100 octane began to increase in September, while 87 octane declined.
