the 98 also contains cleaning additives etc.

I've measured the consumption of my KTM 950, and my GasGas 250 stroker, and they both do better on the 'Super'...but the price is eye-watering at the moment.
I was talking about the instantaneous miracle cures, one tankful to the next.

"The current fuel standard for petrol is drafted such that any petrol containing between 0 and 10% ethanol can be labelled as E10, but only fuel with more than 5% ethanol must be labelled as E10".
Can you show the source for that?, its nonsense
It's not nonsense, there is a difference between can and must .
Fuel with more than 5% ethanol MUST be labelled as E10
Any fuel with between 0-10% CAN be labelled as E10

It's not helping anyone

Greenwashing at its worst...even worse than all the Glastonbury festival-goers hanging on Greta's every word, then leaving the place carpeted in rubbish after pissing so much drug infused urine into the rivers that the fish are dying .

And that's before we start on the carbon footprint of the gensets!
