Because I already answered that. Squadrons were rotating between Stations.

No, I suggest that you tell me how they could use 27,000,000 gallons of 100 octane fuel during BoB.

And I already told you to read the previous thread. You ignored that and asked the same question again.
I suggest you to back up your earlier claims with something. So far you could not.

Hasn't one of your arguments been that they had limited supply, now you're saying they didn't?

No, you have claimed that all Squadrons were using 100 octane fuel during the Battle. You pointed to a paper that said the opposite. And then you say at least least 30 squadrons were using 100 octane, because you found combat reports. You then asked me to explain me this, despite that I already did.
It is you who is changing his position all the time, not me. As far as it goes, you've made two positive claims
a, All FC Sqns were using 100 octane fuel, and nothing else
b, Rechlin trials did not use 100 octane fuel
The burden of proof is on you. You could prove neither. Therefore, they are unproven, insufficiently supported by documentation which was my point.
That of course does not mean that a considerably number of RAF fighters did not use 100 octane fuel - they did.
The fanboyism part starts where somebody starts to ask for only the best variants to be represented, and start to claim something extreme that all the sudden the 'poorer' variants was not used at all.
