Exactly the same thing happened to me in my 98 civic. There was a huge dent
in the middle of the tank, meaning when I did highway driving, it would die
at about 1/4 tank. In the city I was fine, due to turning and whatnot all
the time, allowing the fuel to slosh around and make it into the pickup.

It got to the point where my car would be sputtering, and yet I could only
fit 33 litres into the tank (its a 46 litre tank). The dent was huge.

The dent was from something I smoked on the highway, and could not avoid
without putting my life in danger. sucks but what can ya do?

Hope this helps
