Default Car wont start! Fuel pump? Battery seems fine...

My car started this morning, immediately started to sputter. I give it the gas and nothing happens - no rpm increase at all. Then it dies about 10 seconds later.

It cranked and cranked but would not start. The battery shows about 10 volts - drops to about 8 when I try the ignition.

Could this be a fuel pump issue? I have 1/4 tank gas in the tank. I haven't heard any buzzing noises that usually indicates a bad pump.

Anyone have this problem? Man, my bad luck with this car is unbelievable...

Update - it was condensation in the gas tank I think - It runs fine now 5 hours later.
