After a recent fill up, my vehicle began to stutter at low speeds, generally under 25mph, and while idling at stops. It was the first time in a few months that I filled the tank all the way. Since then I have filled it once or twice more all the way, but the stuttering has not gone away entirely.

You have gotten a batch of bad fuel. Run some fuel system cleaner through it (seafoam, lucas, techron) and see if that helps. Also may want to replace the fuel filter.
