Kitty litter made from bentonite clay. The same stuff floor dry is made from. I use dry cement powder for pulling up oil spills out of concrete, never tried it on pavement though. (don't know what surface you need to clean). It works really well, but it does take some time.

If it is pavement (asphalt) then you do not want to use gasoline or brake cleaner or any other spirits. It will soften up your pavement.
Just scrub it up with some Dawn then use your water hose to rinse it. And the Dawn should not hurt your grass.
