Stuttering / fuel issue

Regretting I missed yesterday's topic started by dschmiele ... But mine really happened this evening.....
Have a 2004 Arc, stick shift, 110k miles. I had a kick on the highway this week and I also ran my tank low before refilling with gas yesterday. Coming home this evening, it stuttered bad (40 mph) and then a 2nd time, and briefly died. First time it would not re-start , but then suddenly it did. Home was a mile away and it cut out once more, revived, and I coasted in. It did restart though easy, and I drove it around the block for 5 minutes without trouble.
So this seems to be some kind of fuel issue. About 3 years ago (at 70k miles) I was unlucky to go thru TWO fuel pumps 6 months apart, but both times there was zero or near-zero warning. This time it seems different. What could it be, a fuel filter or valve, or just "dirty gas" (did I cause that, drawing down the tank to the last gallon)?
And - my most imminent predicament - would you go anywhere with this car on a Sunday? As you can tell I do not have mechanic's fingers.
(And would you replace the fuel pump anyway? Can I buy one on-line and, if I go to an indie, would he put it in?) Thanks you guys have been great before, appreciate any advice.
