Anyone have info on this fuel grade usage, especially when used in the P-38?

"You are correct that 150 octane fuel was approved for use in July 1944. However for some reason it was not put into widespread use until the last few months of the war. What we see is a big influx of 100/150 Grade in July and then a sharp reduction of it's use until the March '45 timeframe."

***SNIP
In the ETO 87 was common and the practice of adjusting the octain was normal through the winter of '43/'44. Sometimes this adjustment was done in 55 gal drums so it was not very accurate or mixed properly
