I think this is more of a terminology issue than anything else.
To me, oxygenated is meant in the government regulation sense in which oxygenation is used to control emissions and reduce pollution.
Maybe they use "Oxygenated" differently because it sounds better and sells more gas but really what they are selling is a blended fuel that has a higher energy content and is more appropriate for racing and most likely not street legal. This could count for the documented Hp gains. JP-5 or aviation fuel has a higher energy content than standard gasoline. I'm sure it would boost horsepower as well but i'm sure you would have some serious knock.
