95 and 98 are gasoline/petrol. The numbers are octane ratings. Different standard than the US though. Any "normal" rental car will run fine on 95.

Gasoil/gazole is diesel. Gasoil+ is premium diesel.

GPL (gaz de pétrole liquéfié), liquefied petroleum gas. I believe it is usually called "propane" in the US. The thing you use for cooking in your trailer/mobile home. (To add to the confusion this is actually called "gasol" in Sweden. )

E85, quite right, is 85% ethanol, 15% gas/petrol. In northern Europe the gas fraction is higher in the winter, though.
