Yikes, highly doubt it's Trans man, I don't have time now to mess around but a buddy suggested cleaning maf sensor as I just got a new k&n filter and he said they are known for throwing oil to the maf. Really doubt it's tranny but u never know

If it was tranny it wouldn't make the engine itself feel like it's not getting fuel or air, it would jst be jerky. Highly doubt it's tranny, I'm thinking most likely oily maf, maybe fuel pump or alternator

This sounds exactly like what happened to my friends G37. He was gassing but the car wouldnt go. It turned out his alternator died. But when he replaced it it drove fine.

Not sure what you mean by this buy I did not "mess around" with maf sensor aside from cleaning it 2 years ago when I first got the car.. The only reason I tried cleaning it was because others have suggested to try and clean it, I know what I'm doing as far as that.
