They use glucose anaerobically because of the lack of mitochondria
Gluconeogenesis is the biosynthesis of new glucose, (i.e. not glucose from glycogen). The production of glucose from other metabolites is necessary for use as a fuel source by the brain, testes, erythrocytes and kidney medulla since glucose is the sole energy source for these organs. During starvation, however, the brain can derive energy from ketone bodies which are converted to acetyl-CoA.
No, fuel-cell automobiles do not use gas as a fuel. They use hydrogen gas as a fuel source, which is converted into electricity to power the vehicle.

Glucose is the primary fuel source for the brain. It is converted into energy through a process called cellular respiration to power the brain's functions. The brain can also use ketone bodies as an alternative fuel source during times of fasting or on a low-carbohydrate diet.
