dunno that I'd actually pay what they're asking for it, but griot's garage 
has a microbial concrete cleaner that eats oil.  biodegradable, too, if 
you're sweating it.  perhaps for a few small spots in the garage, but a 
large stain?  I'd go with the dry concrete or mineral spirits the list 
suggested.  or a bigger, badder pressure washer.  I used one a few years 
ago that peeled off oil stains no sweat.

Folks,  I need to get 1 or 2 spots of oil off the floor of my driveway.  OK
so it's really 10-15 spots and covers about 6 square feet.  I can't seem to
get it off.  We've tried that powery-pebbly stuff I can't remember the name
of (Dry-somethingorother).  And I've tried a pressure washer, and I've 
tried
muriatic acid.  Nada.  THe acid worked a little if I scrubbed it with a
scrub brush really hard for a long time.

Any ideas?

Michael
