Not sure about France but it used to be true in the US when regular fuel didn’t have any additive like premium fuels had. These additives would clear and prevent combustion residue buildups so it justified getting the better stuff even if the higher octane wasn’t needed. However nowadays all fuels have similar additives so it wouldn’t be warranted.

And you can potentially harm discriminated-against populations including disabled people.
Regardez bien, l'échelle est en jours de trajet. Vous avez raison pour la distance, mais vu que le téléscope n'a pas de propulseur principal, sa vitesse n'a cessé de diminuer depuis son détachementdu booster à cause de l'attraction gravitationelle qu'il subit, ce qui lui a fait traverser la distance Terre-Lune (25% du trajet total) en seulement 8% du temps de trajet total pour arriver en orbite L2.
♲ @NASA@twitter.com: Here it is: humanity’s final look at @NASAWebb as it heads into deep space to answer our biggest questions. Alone in the vastness of space, Webb will soon begin an approximately two-week process to deploy its antennas, mirrors, and sunshield. #UnfoldTheUniverse
