Easily enough accomplished, "oxygenated" fuel or not. Buy a can of _HEET_ or similar 
product at the auto parts store. It's simply alcohol, which will allow the water to mix 
with the gas, thereby allowing it to pass through the system. IF your car needs a tuneup, 
the decreased percentage of flammable fuel (it now has water mixed in) may cause the car to 
stall. OTOH, if your car is in a decent state of tune, you will experience a loss of power
and poorer milage until the water is cleaned out. 

Why do you want the water out? Because, unmixed, it will sink to the bottom of your tank.
When enough of it is there to raise to the outlet point, your car will get *all* water, 
instead of 2 or 3% and will stop immediately. When this occurs at 11 at night halfway 
between Vernonia and Pittsburg the wisdom of adding a "gas dryer" occasionally is 
driven home.

With alcohol being used as the "oxygenating" agent, this is being done for you.
