LOL- even I know that you don't need to replace blinker fluid until (at least) 100,000 miles.

I switched to Redline BFL for better stalk feel.
Also, check your leafsprings.

can you HEAR the fuel pump prime when you turn the key? (a whirrrrrr, sound from the rear seat)
it will not do it EVERY TIME ad the pressure will not have died out, yet.. but the first time, it should..

Well guys I fixed the problem and got my car started. First I removed my head from my ass and carried on with my tail between my legs. Here's what happened. After the tow truck showed up we pushed the car into place were it could be hooked up and towed away. The car was pretty much at the same place where I had pushed it to earlier to get it off the incline. Well wouldn't you know it started right up. It seemed the car was still at somewhat of an angle and the gallon of gas that I had added was not enough to get to the fuel pump. So now I feel like a jerk (I even checked my blinker fluid and its ok) but I appreciate everyone's input. Thanks.

This actually sounds like a fuel pump problem but the way I would start with something like this is to check first the spark plug wires to see if you are getting spark in all cylinders then Turn the ignition but do not cranck you should hear a bit of a whinning noise when you do that and that is usually an indication of the fuel pump working if you do not here this noise then assume fuel pump is burnt out right away. I would also take out a sspark plug and check for some residue buildup this usually occyrs when the there is flooding of the fuel system that will tell you that the pump is sending out fuel. No an oil change or tranny fluid may not have caused this however how stiff is the shifter? By the way when you did tranny service what type of fluid did you use?

yeah for sure sounds like your fuel pump is on its way out, do yourself a favor and drive to a mechanic as long as its running.

The leafspring fluid, or the leafspring pump itself? Where is it located?
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Wow talk about useless info. that just takes up space! 
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
