Depends on the fuel spilt and the road surface. Diesel (specially in the heat) will lift tarmac, cars will spread the diesel down the road, not only lifting the surface and wrecking it, but raising stones for screen breakages and making it slippery dangerous for miles afterwards.

Fuel spills need to be surrounded and recovered to prevent seepage into drainage and water sources. (Hence the PCV valves at various locations)
