I think the only other difference is that, since corn oil is 100%  
fat, it has more of the "cheeseburger" effect that Susan G. was  
talking about, so you need to restrict intake before a ride.  No need  
to do that with rice bran, especially if it is mixed up in a BP  
mash.  I like that aspect, as it means that I don't have to change  
anything about my normal feeding program for a ride.  Also, since  
Caisson isn't crazy about BP unless there are goodies in it, using  
rice bran works better for me -- the BP doesn't do him any good if he  
doesn't eat it.  (I use pelleted rice bran which is Ca:P balanced).
