Reserve in the tank

Hi

A woman and a man were following another guy.

However that guy escaped them.

The woman says: We drive and we watch. And with any luck we'll pick up his trail again.

The man says: I don't think I'm that lucky.

She says: I am

He asks: Why?

She replies: I'm Irish. We always keep some reserve in the tank.

What is that supposed to mean?
