on you as well. I ran my 98 T/A out once. But it was shot after that. Woudn't pump anything. 
Fuel Pump
Fuel Pump Ive now ran my car(99 SS) out of gas three times 
(dont blame me, blame GM for making a fuel gauge that registers empty when you still have 70 miles left in the tank) Well-this time when I limped the car into a gas station, after putting fuel in it, the car still seemed to sputter for the short distance(half mile or so) home. Im afraid that Ive actually killed the pump...do you guys think that perhaps the car just needs to run a bit more or have I paid for stretching the limits?

Might try changing the fuel filter, after a while the tank can get some debris on the bottom and repeatedly sucking the tank dry can get it into the filter.
If that doesn't help, looks like it might be time for a FP change

Most likely the filter. On a side note, The first time you ran it out of gas I understand. But unless the guage is reading different every time you run out - You need to remember that spot and that after that there is no more.
You havn't paid the price yet until you replace the fuel pump. All e-fuel pumps don't like it when you make it run dry. it may be awile or when you least expect it(that's the way they play) b-4 you need the new fuel pump.
may luck be with you!
may luck be with you!

Although, its weird that your gauge is on E for 70 miles. I hit "E" once and my tank was dry immediately. Luckily for me I was 25' from the pump. I had to have the attendant help me push it the rest of the way.
Oh yeah... and I agree about the filter thing....
