Default Car stalled on the way to school help!!!!!

I was driving along today just passed some one in second gear took it up to about 6k and shifted then I come to a light push the clutch in and car seemed a little different RPMs went all the way down and it stalled. Now when I wenrt to start it. I had to give it gas and it started finally didnt seem like it was running on all cylinders(sounded like a subaru) So I decided to just keep the revs on and try and head on home. I got home and let off the gas and now it idles fine everythings seems alright. I get spark on all 4 cylinders. Drove it more beat the snot out of it and it seems fine. I was low on gas but not to low and its pretty cold its now 22 degrees at 8:20 am. Any help is greatly appreciated. Im gonna check my plugs once it cools.

I wont know a difference now b/c after driving home It was fine. So as a precaution I went out after I got here and filled up on some fresh 93.

my friend somehow got water in his gas in his spec v the other day and it was doing similar stuff. Thankfully he got it all fixed and no damage.

you did say you were almost out of gas correct? I'd say put it to the back of your mind now that you're filled up...if it happens again, repost and explain to us what happened. More than likely you just were just a little too low. Hope everythings ok
