Default almost ran out of gas

i was driving my car to hooters today and apparently when my fuel gauge is on a 1/4 that means empty!! right b4 a gas station(thank good) my car started choking out from, well no fuel. i filled the tank up completely now and the engine is acting really funky. it accelerates slow, revs slow, and doesnt sound good at all. at the moment it is sitting in my garage being undriven until i figure out wat to do. any ideas

are you sure you were running out of gas? could it have been your fuel pump dying? how much gas did it take to top off the tank?

yeah change your filter first then go from there. More than likely you sucked up some nasty stuff from the bottom of the tank and clogged it up. I wouldn't think so but there is a chance that the new gas could've had water in it and make things worse.
