What is the problem?

It was 4:30 am and I was cruising home from a neighborhood at about 30mph, when all of a sudden, while I'm coasting, my car dies! The motor just stopped!!! I fired it back up with little hesitation and proceeded to go home. A few times on the way, it sounded like it was sort of struggling, but other than that, nothing out of the ordinary. It hasn't run better until this! What could have caused this? Should I be worried about it? I has normally been in the 90's in the day, but this morning, it felt like it was in the 50's if that makes any difference...help!!!

I would not be too concerned if you art not getting any trouble codes and the engine seems to be fine now. Be very careful where you purchase your fuel though because there are a lot of "fly by night" convience stores that stock really crappy gas. Belive it or not the gas stations have a choice of the quality of gas that they purchase and a lot of these busineses will buy the gas that has been at the bottom of the storage tank and thereby it has more contaminates and water in it.
