So, where did 192,151,000 gallons of 100 Octane go if it was only consumed by a small number of RAF fighters and some Blenheims?

Interestingly stocks of 100 Octane had already become greater than "Other Grades" by June - NOT October, as Crumpp has surmised:


Great post, thanks for sharing.

100 octane fuel the main fuel stocked during the BoB, slam dunk.
