Running out of petrol

So after a discussion with Oh yesterday can I ask how many times you have ever run out of petrol and how many years you have been driving.

Person A run out once in 25 years of driving.

Person B run out 4 times in 30 years of driving.

Person A thinks B is irresponsible and most people have never run out. Person B thinks 4 times in 30 years is not much.

Never.
27 years of driving.

There's an indicator in the car for a reason.
You might misjudge it once. 4 times seems careless.
