A Scripps Howard News Service poll found that 2/3 of men admit to running out of gas and over half say they have been criticized for not asking for directions.
Nearly two-thirds of men admit they've run out of gas while driving their automobiles, while 52 percent of women say they've never done this.
Half of men also said they've been criticized for being "reluctant to stop the car and ask for directions" compared to only 13 percent of women who said they've received this criticism.
The running out of gas percentages aren't that different. However, the percentages for men and women admitting receiving criticism over not asking for directions is very different. There probably aren't too many that really believe men are more likely to ask for directions than women.
