150 octane fuel in US Air forces besides 8th Air Force?

Starly said:

I was able to find information that 8th Air Force started widely issuing 150 octane fuel since summer 1944 for the 8th Air Force in WW2. Increasing manifold pressure for P-47s, P-51s and P-38s.
However I couldn't find any information about the other US Air forces like 3rd or 9th for example. I've seen someone saying that 9th Air Force did not use 150 octane fuel but I don't know If that's true or not.

1. Did any other US air force use 150 octane fuel besides 8th?
2. If not, why?

To my knowledge, no other US Air Force other than the 8th used 100/150 grade fuel, however, Major James B. Tapp of the 78th FS, 15th Group on Iwo Jima wrote: "The Command had begun using the 115/145 Octane leaded gasoline." 7th Fighter Command History

As to the constraints see http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/150grade/supplymemo-11july44.pdf

The RAF used it at home with ADGB and on the continent with the 2nd TAF. See: 150 Grade Fuel
