thats why I ruled out the fuel pump..

but if it is fuel issues, why am I still getting good mileage? I would think it would drastically affect my fuel mileage
That exact same thing happened to a friend of mine's 2002 Accord. It was the fuel filter. The car would drive normally, get the same mileage, then would randomly shut off and then not start up. He would have to wait a few hours before cranking it again. I guess there was debris in the filter and it would clog the filter, and after leaving the car turned off for a while the debris would settle back off the filter, and the car would drive fine for 20 miles or even a few days until it did it again.
