Imho, there's no reason to assume that the new squadrons weren't using 100 octane fuel as well, unless RAF logistics were run by brain dead people. If some folks around here have detailed resources, it might be worth a little more digging.

I did look at a number but not all of the squadron records of squadrons that formed after May 1940. I checked these records from formation until March (ish) 1941 and none of those records mention 100 octane, 87 octane or any issues. The assumption I was working on was that by March 1941 they would be using 100 octane in view of the instruction we have for all commands to use 100 Octane given in August 1940.
Given that, my view is that 100 Octane wasn't mentioned after May 1940 because it was standard issue.
