Whenever you run it out of gas, or dangerously low, you overheat the pump. Even one time can cause enough damage to create problems down the road. This may not be the problem, but it might be worth looking into. If you fill it up does the problem go away or seem less severe?
EDIT: What year is your car? I remember reading that '99 and '00 pumps seemed to have a higher failure rate. I don't have a link handy, so that's really just hearsay unless someone knows for sure.
