if the spill is recent, a cigarette lighter should do the trick. Go to alt.info.smoke to see how to remove smoke smells from inside your car

Soak the area thoroughly with a mixture of 1-2 cups plain white vinegar mixed in 1 gallon warm as you can stand water, then use lots of clean white towels and a brick, clamp or something else to add weight (your own tired arms will do, too) to wick out all of the petroleum and water solution.  Follow with a rinse of warm water mixed with baking soda (1 1/2 cups per gallon), then again wick out until as dry as you can get it.

With the price of gas.  Maybe you should pull up the carpet in your car and shove it into your tank.
