Unless, that is, you can find a memo or other such document stating, for example, that, until further notice, 87 Octane fuel will be used by the majority of the RAF's frontline fighters.
Either that or find a list of units authorised to use 100 octane fuel, and/or an explanation of the logistical processes used by the RAF to ensure a limited supply of 100 octane directed at selected units or stations.
