Recently I was driving my car home from school when I was driving along at 25 mph and suddenly the engined either stalled or cut out. Regardless of what happened, I pulled over to the side and turned my car back on. I was idling for a few moments and then it stalled/cut out again. I was abled to make it home because I only live a few minutes away, but it continuously stalled/cut out the rest of the way. Maybe the fuel pump is gone, or is it not idling correctly? When I was at a stop sign it seemed to be ok until I stepped on the gas and it stalled out again.

My fuel pump is turning on and whatnot. Could the stalling be because of someone mixing gas? I had someone go put gas in my car and I had a half tank of regular then they put in another half tank of medium grade gas.
