This mirrors my experience exactly. Fuel gauge was on the 3rd segment (out of 12, I think) when she ran out of fuel, so probably around 50-60 miles of range showing. Fuel pump replaced and subsequent return trips to the garage for new seal kit and re-seat. Still runs out of fuel at the 3rd segment but I'm used to that by now. Not prepared to spend any more money on that particular problem.
New fuel pump is slightly more buzzy than before and you should be able to hear it prime when turning the key to ignition on.
Hope you get your problem sorted.
