It is hard to figure out what might had dine this suddenly like that.
However one thing does come to mind.

Do you top off your tank? Could the tank venting be failing? Try
removing the gas cap and see if it improves.

Also it is possible that the fuel you got was dirty and is not clogging
the pick up sock in the tank or the in line fuel filter. I would think this
is the most likely issue.

Water could also be part of the problem, but I would have thought it
would have totally shut you down.

 In the light of very strange behavior, I would try connecting a
jumper (starting cable for example) from the negative terminal of
the battery to something metal firmly mounted to the engine block.
This might be a bracket holding the air conditioning compressor, or
even a protrusion on the block or head. Keep the jumper clear of
moving parts.

If the problems don't improve, at least it was simple to have tried.
