BoB Spitfire 100 Octane fuel

[WTE_Galway]

The advantages of the massive stockpile of 100 Octane the British built up before and through the war should not be underestimated.

As an example, the DB605 in Luftwaffe service produced 1450 hp with B4 (87 Octane) and needed Mw50 to achieve more power. The same DB605 running 100 Octane with the Swedish air force produced 1700 hp without needing MW50.

Of course with 100 Octane MW50 would not have have had near as much effect as it is basically an anti-knock agent.
