Default Oil Stains on Cement/Driveway

Not sure if I posted this in the correct place, please don't flame, I looked, it just doesnt seem to fall under any simple category. Anyways I have oil stains from a leaky <insert diagnostic here> coming from underneath my 93 accord. I've bought that oil removing garbage thats like a sand and you wet it and let it stand then scrub off. Nothing seems to remove the oil, anyone have any suggestions on removing it?

Coca Cola? I thought that was for removing corrosion from batteries? I tried it though anyways and It didn't help much, I let it sit there for a while then tried brushing it off. Nothing.

There's some stuff that comes in a jug similar to radiator fluid. I think I got it at Walmart. It works ok. www.griotsgarage.com also sells a bunch of stuff for this kind of situation. hih
