Default Car dies while driving ??

So I was out doing some shopping and noticed my volts were a bit low on my volt gauge. Didn't think much of it because I had left my mirror light on over night and had to boost my car two days ago. After driving for about 10 minutes my volts were declining and my battery warning light came on and within 3 minutes my car bogged and died.

It started again about 10 minutes later only to die again. Now when my key is "ON" the volts read about 11.5v and interior lights and evrything work fine.. but when I restarted the car it goes down to about 9v and declines until it dies again. I only restarted twice but it was very hesitant to start. Now, I had searched the forums a bit and can't find a solid answer. Some guys are saying anything from "classic fuel pump failure" to bad alternator to also a blown intercooler hose...

hope i gave enough detail and maybe someone has experienced the SAME thing as me.
