It could be your stock electric in tank fuel pump giving up the ghost.

Fuel filter...? I had a similar problem it would start to sound pretty rough and not want to go sometimes when i was getting my foot into it, i tryed everything and finally the fuel filter and it turns out thats what it was.. i usualy like to start off trying to replace the cheapest thing first hopeing its going to be one of them.

Does the car start to shake and shudder before it turns off? If so, then its the fuel pump for certain. Even if it doesn't start to shake like its going to stall, I'd actually still investigate the fuel pump. Seriously.

To date, I've replaced the fuel pump in my car 4 times. I hate fuel pumps.
