One mile per gallon 700 1991

While driving today, many of the warning lights came on; service, lamp out, brakes, parking brakes, arrow showing overdrive not on and SRS. The tank was full and I had to drive it 20 miles on the freeway.

During that time I could not put the car in overdrive and by the time I was nearly back home I had used a full tank of gas. The car started slowing down, sputtering and finally just quit. I had to have it towed.

I just tried to start it and it started right up but I'm afraid to take it anywhere.

Can any one please point me in the right direction to determine what has gone wrong and how I should proceed to fix the problem? I assume it is a fuel injection problem. Can I just clean them or will I have to do something more drastic? Or, is there something else that is wrong?

Thanking you all in advance.
