What is meant by the octane number in fuel?

ByCara Samways

The octane number is a measure of a fuels ability to resist detonation.  The higher the octane number, the more resistance a fuel will have to detonation.  This enables the engine to be more highly tuned and to release more power and/or improve the fuel consumption.  The higher the octane number, the better the fuel.

Several clients have encountered fuel stations in France that no longer sell SP 95 and who now only sell 95-E10. However, SP 98 is still sold on forecourts so can you confirm whether SP-98 will also eventually move to an E10 version?
