All are correct. It took me a while to figure out the role of "less" in the first sentence. It is a "comparative adjective", like "smaller".

Your sentences are quite natural already, but here are slightly refined versions to enhance flow: * Dark chocolate contains less added sugar than white chocolate. * Organic oranges have 30% more vitamin C than conventionally grown ones. * Cars today are far more fuel-efficient than those made in 1990. * The President’s salary is 25 times higher than that of the average citizen.
