sudden stall, bad fuel economy on 02 ARC

>>2002 Arc
>>121,000 miles (haven't done the 120k service yet, last thing performed on car was one flush of the transmission fluid)
>>CEL is on and temperature gauge is a little low, sometimes drops all the way down. I suspect it's the thermostat. I add this as a minor detail, but I don't think it's related.
Yesterday I went for a drive, about 2-3 minutes into that drive, the car stalled.
Now keep in mind, I might have accidentally turned the car off as I was playing with my iPod. That's a possibility. I don't know.
Since I was going for a long drive, I went to Autozone and had the codes read. There was no other code other than the coolant temperature code, which I had before.
For about the first 45 minutes of my drive gas mileage seemed to be about 4-5mpg lower than normal. (I kept resetting the SID to confirm this.) I also felt like the car was a bit more sluggish than normal, but then again, I could just be imagining things.
Afterwards, it seems like everything was back to normal.
Any thoughts?
