I was being sarcastic.

The point is that there are quite a few on here who have an agenda which appears to be based around making it easier for them to score kills online rather than historical accuracy. There is a huge amount of evidence showing that the RAF had and used 100 octane for it's fighter force from May 1940 yet people are still arguing otherwise.
We have a saying in the English speaking World. "If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and moves like a duck then it's probably a duck". This means that we have a load of evidence so it's probably true, this isn't a court of law where absolute proof of everything is needed.

IL2 1946 FM was ruined by Luftwaffe drivers attacking the Spitfire FM and bigging up their own FM. I am terribly worried that the same will happen again. Presently, pre-patch, the 109 has HUGE advantages and yet we still hear whining about a handful of Spitfire IIa's online. I dread to think what whining is due to come when the Spitfire become at least equal to the 109 and the 109 DM is implemented - I fear that they may complain so hard they actually spoil history.

Here's a snippet of evidence from the time. Britain was on the brink, do you honestly think we weren't using this fuel to try and win with it?
