mpg on 13,14 and 17 CB1100

In Europe, the octane rating on the pump is simply the RON figure. America, by contrast, uses the average of the RON and the MON figures, called the AKI (anti-knock index). Thus, 97 octane “super unleaded” in Britain is roughly equivalent to 91 octane premium in the United States. Most petrol in the UK and Ireland only has 5% Ethanol but that is likely to go up to 10% in 2021/22. My poor old 1952 MG won't like the extra Ethanol but I did change the fuel lines from the pump to the carbs with modern rubber to mitigate that.
