Pour some RedBull in the tank. JK. The fuel pump would be the first thing Id fix if you know it's bad. How many miles are on the car? Do a complete tune up (wires, fuel filter plugs, clean injectors, etc) A radiator flush couldnt hurt either. GL
check your EGR. It might be clogged it will cause your car to seem it has a miss and will idle poorly. Will also run crappy thats what happened to me and i cleaned it and it ran like a totally different animal.

Verdad Gallardo If it is the Fuel Pump, change it out through the back of the car, instead of dropping the Axle and the Tank. There is a few of us that have done it this way, and it is alot easier. Let me know if you need any info on how.
Defently tune-up, see if you can clean the throttle body & injectors, my mazda idles rough and drinks gas when the T.B. needs cleaning, that and it might be some bad gas or some nastys in the fuel system, it`s a long shot but what the hay.
