Car won't start. Is it the starter?
The last 3 times I turned on my car it would barely start. On the 4th time, all I heard was quick clicking and the lights on the dash would flash. After a few more attempts it doesn't even appear that its clicking anymore. This may be completely unrelated but the problems started after I filled up my tank with Sunoco gas. The tank was on empty so when I filled it up and started having the issues I began to think that perhaps they sold me water with gas flavor. When I the key, my radio turns on and I am able to open and close the windows. That led me to think that the battery is ok. The battery is pretty old so is it possible that it has enough juice to run the radio but not start the car? Any help would be appreciated to what the culprit might be.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: After further investigating, it appears that my radio dies shortly after turning on. This leads me to believe that it is in fact the battery. Thoughts?

sounds like your not getting gas to ur engine (do u have gas?..) check your fuel pump fuse, might be blown. its right above the hood handle inside the car. Did you try to give it gas once it starts? Might be MAF, is your check engine light on? check you ECU anyways
it could also be a short in your wiring somewhere. Do a search next time and you'll find these
