The Battle of Britain was a very close thing indeed. One of the reasons the Allied aircraft beat the enemy fighters was that a single ship load of high-octane fuel arrived from the US in England just at the height of the Battle. It was the only one to make it through, and so the Spitfires were able to run full boost on the temperamental engines, thus making an extra couple of hundred horsepower. That was just enough to make the difference in battle. So when you think that the petrol companies don't do anything for you, remember that a Esso saved the 'free' world at one point!
