Any tips to get gas out of rubber mat?

Got any good ideas for getting gas out of a rubber floor mat? Budweiser made me park the mower on my 1" thick mat, really a piece of raw recapping rubber. About a pint of gas dripped out and left me with a hump about 12" dia. and about 3" high. I've pressure washed with Dawn 3 times so far. It may be the new home for the drill press and lathe.

Yep chop it up into smaller mats and then discard the affected area.

Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
