Its not good to let the tank go empty all the time is true. You should keep at least an 1/8th of a tank at all times.
5w/40 synthetic.
Every 3months, I never get to 3k miles.
At least 93.

Correct, constantly refueling on empty means your fuel pump may be picking up sediment that settles at the bottom of the tank.
I use Mobil 1 10w-30, and 93 octane.

Well that, and modern day fuel pumps are both cooled and lubricated with the surrounding fuel.
