Oil in the driveway

Does anyone recommend something that will get the oil off my driveway? I have a few stains and was wondering if there was something at Home Depot or Target that would work.

Thanks

I use engine degreaser to get it off of the smooth type concrete inside my garage, just spray it on get a green brillo pad sort of thing and scrub. If the oil is on a driveway pad with the really pourous type of concrete then it is going to be really difficult to get that out with anything, since it has soaked in so much. Hope this helps at all even if it wasn't a perfect solution.

Don't forget to rinse it down really well afterwards... otherwise it is gonna stink for a long time.
