According to Winston Groom's book, "The Aviators", Jimmy Doolittle was the primary force for Shell producing 100 octane gas in the mid-30's. The US Army had decided to use 87 octane for all their motors, from motorcycles up to planes, but the tests that Doolittle helped conduct convinced them that 100 was vastly superior. I would hate to get into a Shell/Esso tiff so I recommend everyone read Groom's book. It is about the lives of Doolittle, Rickenbacker and Lindberg.
