bad fuel pump??

i was on my way to school today when my car died, popped the hood and fuel filter was dry, ok i just ran out of gas, put 1 gallon gas, runs good for 2 miles then dies right at school. popped hood and fuel filter dry again, i was thinking this cant be right, 2MPG!! i put more gas and dies again after 2 more miles, i just put 6 gallons in and filter was dry so i knew it had gas. put some starting fluid in carb and started her up. filter full of gas again, ran another 2 mins. and dead, dry filter, reprime carb restart and go 2 more mins. and dead. does this sound like my pumps going out? its mech.
