Default Oil stains on concrete, how to get rid of them?

First of all, the stains werent caused by my bike.

anyway, my driveway has old oil stains ranging from 2 weeks to 6 months.

searched the net and some say cat litter, laundry detergent, cola, expensive solvents and some say they dont work.

I'll probably try the cat litter and some simple green with elbow grease. I was also thinking of making additional oil stains but making it in actual shapes, like diamonds or something. hehe so it looks like its decorations..

Another option is Simple Green in concentrate... dump it on there, let it sit for a half hour, scrub it with a stiff sweeper brush, rinse.
