long story, the cabin of my car reeks of petrol because of a spillage(gas, for you Americanos). any ideas on how to get rid of it? if i drive around with the windows up i get a pleasant high, but it's probably killing brain cells i can't afford to lose - especially if they're brain cells that deal with how to play the KID. also, chicks don't like it, cos it interferes with their perfume/natural scent or something, and clings to their clothes.

A match usually does the trick.

EDIT: Just tried it on the ex-wife's car. Couple of gallons and a match, and the petrol was all gone.

So was the car. Diasappeared in a puff of smoke...

Reminds me of when we moved to Denver from Memphis. A carton of heavy cream was leaking onto the carpet in the backseat, and was left overnight. We got up the next day, it had already gotten hot, and the cabin was RANK. We had to drive the rest of the way with our windows down. I did the old Vicks under the nostrils thing.
