Could it be that you got a bad batch of fuel? I had that happen to my car once when there was still supposedly 5 or so gallons of diesel left in the tank. The car would kind of irratically shake (not the normal diesel shake) and I had to put light pressure on the accelerator pedal to smooth things out at a stop light.
