Car won't start. Started just fine when I left my house, drove 15 miles, Shut it off to get gas, came back out and it didnt even turn over, just clicked once. Couldnt jump it, put a new battery in and still does the same thing. Is it the starter?

CJ! whats up? As far as the issue, also make sure there aren't any loose or corroded connections to the battery, starter, or the ground. It could be a starter problem, or a weak connection between the battery, starter, ground.
