"rice burners" don't use oil... they use water.
Rice absorbs the water, too much water and you get rice soup... too little and it'll be too dry.
Distilled water isn't advised for cooking rice, regular tap water should be fine.
I've always used the 3/4 cup of water to every cup of rice ratio, this will help prevent "rice burning".
good luck!

Remember to rinse the rice several times to get out the extra starch or it will be a sticky gooey mess. Water up to the second knuckle according to my wife.

Yep, exactly what I do too... and let it sit in the cooker without turning it on for about 5 minutes to let the rice absorb some of the water before cooking.
Filtered water? Fancy... next up, bottled Smart Water, will it make it better?
Your son drives a Mustang? Don't worry, he's probably going to wrap it around something doing what typical mustang driver's do anyways. But seriously? Oil? I don't see the point in this whole post. You know they are racing,cool. Why go play detective work and more importantly why be the idiot that parks in the middle of their "track" and ends up getting you and others killed. Guess who's at fault then? Let the police deal with it if its that big of a problem and stay home. Problem solved.

So, I'll bite. . .
Ma'am, call the police. I know you're probably in Adelanto or Victorville, where the police are overwhelmed, but nothing good can be gained trying to catch them or piecing a case together from car parts (or oil) alone.
That said, whoever thinks Voss is a good idea, you do realize that before it was manufactured and injected with minerals, it was just Norwegian tap water, right? Seriously, Norwegian tap water is that good.
Does anybody know what kind of rice Jiro-san uses?

Actually, Reverse Osmosis water is not good for drinking. Water is incredibly good at dissolving minerals. When you drink RO water, which has many of the minerals removed, the water simply makes up for that lack by dissolving the minerals in your body - bones, teeth, etc. Much better to use filtered water which still contains the natural mineral content and therefore is not going to rob them from your system. This is one reason they sometimes have to add minerals back into "purified" bottled water before they sell it.
My personal favorite, however, is six parts of Hendrick's Gin, one part of good Vermouth, shaken not stirred. Got some chillin' in the fridge right now. Now, where were those olives?
