Default Does the Corvette run on a new fuel source?

I was comparing a Mustang GT to a Corvette in a Gamer forum about the xbox 360 being the Mustang and the PS3 being a Vette. More expensive better the whole nine yards blah bah. And he spouted off saying.

"Unfortunetely the Corvette runs on a new fuel source, which is currently expensive."

My first thought was bs it does not, just premium fuel, but I wanted to make sure first. Its regular premium gas right?

He was prolly referring to the PS3's cell proc's being new and expensive...

Or maybe he meant E85? It's hard to answer taken out of context.

Even if he did mean E85, isn't it only at like 2/gallon? Last time I checked that's cheaper than 3/gallon for premium.

Gasoline MPG/E85 MPG you would have to break even for it to be worth it.

This is quite possibly one of the stupidest things I have ever heard in my life. Did you ask him if he had been eating lead paint chips?

BTW: arguing about the superiority of video game consoles is silly. The games are what matter. You have better things to do with your life. Believe me....
