Need Help removing Gasoline Smell

Here in Oregon, we can't pump our own gas. To make a long story short, the attentant filled up a gas can for my mower and placed it back in my TSX's trunk.

Unfortunately, he didn't tighten the cap properly, and when I got home some of the gas had spilled on my trunk tray (luckily, none got on any fabric in the trunk)

Anyway, I took the trunk tray out (this happened on Sunday) cleaned it and it still reeks. I've tried white vinegar and baking soda so far.

Just curious if anyone has any suggestions getting the smell out of this plastic tray.

Thanks

1. Place cat litter / gound coffee on the stain or spot were it was spilled.
2. Use a product that chemically alters the proteins that odour-causing microbes feed on (Auto Internationals Odour Terminator (Valuguard) most odours will be eliminated (http://www.autoint.com) that is non-toxic, non-allergenic, fast acting, without a cover up scent or an offensive perfume smell.

Removal of smoke, pet odours, virtually any organically caused mal-odour in carpet, seats, headliners, upholstery and heating and air conditioning ducts. As with all smell and odour removal check the cabin air filter, change as necessary
