As to the oxgeanated fuel that is a whole different type of fuel.The first post if I recall was about higher octane fuel.

The XXX racing fuel is oxygenated. In fact, it is one of the most oxygenated fuels available on the market. Typical race gas on an otherwise stock car is, like the rest of this thread states over and over again, not going to do much at all. I know I wasn't being called out, but I just wanted to make sure everyone is on the same page

Here is the original blog post and video, just for reference: XXX Racing Fuel Gains 14whp on Stock 370Z : Injected Performance Blog

The video basically speaks for itself. Baseline dyno pull, adding five gallons of the XXX gas, then running it again. We don't carry the fuel, we don't sell it, and we have absolutely no bias towards or against them. The company was touring near the area and decided to stop by to advertise their product. Being curious like everyone else would likely be, we took them up on their offer and did a dyno test then and there.

The power gains are almost entirely from the oxygen content rather than the octane level. The XXX fuel used has almost twice the oxygen as other products on the market, like VP's Q16. Was it an interesting experiment? Of course! Is it a fuel that we would recommend for everyday use? Not really. It is being marketed as an alternative to race gas, and I wish them luck in getting the product out there.

No problem and your info is real interesting.Just that some people relate oxygenated fuel as ordinary race fuel and it is in a class all by it self.So was trying to get that message across to some on here that were confusing the two.
Very impressive results and thanks again for sharing the test results.
