OK, But in which scientific article I can read this information?



Interesting: I read again the CLIFFS OF DOVER AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS checklists by Composite Aviation Regiment 2nd Guards (OP2GvSAPINST 3710.1A 15 July 2011) and there all aircrafts are operating on 100 octane (frist part), and in the second part you can read:

Errata
Additional Aircraft
Known Sim Inaccuracies or Limitations
Operating Limits and Procedures for Non-Standard (87 Octane, Fixed Pitch Props) or Non-Pilotable (Anson) Aircraft

Meanwhile, in the A2A Spits:

Types You Can Fly
We have three Spitfire models available, the Mk Ia, fitted with a Merlin III engine designed for 87 octane fuel, +6 psi max boost, or a Mk II
with a Merlin XII, designed for the higher 100 octane fuel, beefier block, slightly increased supercharger, and capable of a higher +12 psi.
