Why men take chances?

Ever noticed your man driving his car until the gas runs out to E (empty) and still continuing to drive till the light starts to blink and deciding now is the time to get the gas ?

I am not sure if ladies can take such chances - Are you one of them?

Once i did try to test my stress level by waiting for the gas to move to the E level and then waiting for the lights to turn on but I spent the entire drive perspiring and rested after i hit the gas station (ofcourse did switch the AC in the car as I was too scared to take any more chances).

I once spoke to a friend of mine and she told me that men normally go in search of the gas station that has the lease price per gallon unlike girls who dont want to drive a long way just for the sake of gas. But when men drive till the lights blink, should'nt they have to find a gas station nearby? I once was in my friend's car and expected him to drive like a mile may be after the lights started blinking, or to find the nearest gas station (ofcourse he had his GPS that told him all the gas stations around the area). But instead found him drive till Costco to get gas which was around 25miles from the location we started. But here I was silently looking at the meter and praying that it doesnt stop on the way (for all the hassle that we have to take later).

They say its hard to read a girl's mind, but I tell you its so difficult to understand a man's action.
