Default 2000 Accord EX ran out of gas with 5 gallons left in tank

My daughter bought a 2000 Accord EX V6 on Saturday. She was driving on
the freeway yesterday and it died (the guage showed between E and 1/4
and the low fuel light hadn't come on). She called triple A and after a
2 hour wait they arrived, put in 1 gallon of gas and it started right
up. When she filled the tank it only took 11 gallons of gas. I'm new to
Honda's so I'm asking here if this may be a common problem. My guess is
a weak fuel pump or a semi-clogged filter but maybe you knowlegable
people have a different explanation of what it could be? I have a fuel
pressure tester but no specs on what it should read for this car. Any
help would be appreciated. The car was as-is so "take it back to the
dealer" would not be an appropriate answer. Thanks in advance.
