I took the 1/4s and kept the right part while cropping. Thanks for posting!

I was in a bit of a hurry, so I just picked the one @Eduardo_Battaglia used, 2171…
White balance, I just stayed with the “as-shot” from the camera.
@Eduardo_Battaglia : This bracket series was made with both opposites in mind; I did not have the gear to do a very good spot metering on location but the -2 EV for the highlights was just about right. Shifting all -2/3 EV might have been better for both highlights and shadows (hindsight and all that). This does mean that P1002171 will a bit of a challenge being on the dark side and having a bit too much highlights.
@Thomas_Do : The fog is nicely visible in yours!
@ggbutcher : Using my as-shot white balance might not be such a good idea… I tend to use a fixed one or, when using my D750, spot white balancing via live view using a grey card. Reason being that I shoot a lot of double/triple overlapping shots (not necessarily panoramas) and I don’t want any hassle afterwards with different wb values due to my camera trying to be smart. And RAW makes changing it afterwards rather easy.

I’m using CAT16 RGB as a working space (using a colour balance module for white balance). Using Bradford rho,gamma,beta space gives similar results but the greens come out a little bit yellower. I took white balance from one of the fuel pumps. I just used P1002171, there isn’t much noise and clipping isn’t a problem…

This edit is the closest to the neutral colours as seen in daylight.
The reality is a tad warmer. All the whites are off-white a bit, just going towards yellow/orange. But that is something you could not know

A quick online search suggests that forecourt lighting is likely to be around 4000K or so. Plugging in the theoretical colour balance values for 4000K gives this:

Which looks a bit greenish to me rather than yellow/orange.

That might be, but colourwise this one looks spot on. My ‘yellow/orange’ remark was about the (off-)white material colours used, seen in daylight.
Anyway: Very nice!
You got rid of the fog! 
Fuel seems to be more expensive in Netherlands than in Germany…
@heckflosse : As far as I can remember this has always been the case.
I was born and spend my younger years in/around Enschede and I can specifically remember our neighbours (and many others as well I learned later on) hop across the border to fill up their tank, and that was in the early 70’s. Worth it, even if having to drive extra kilometres.

Nice fog. Was the reddish hue on the platform really there, or is this processing effect? my RT trial. Thanks for posting.

Yes, it was.
I was standing on the end of an half-open tram platform and camera right, out of sight and parallel to the tracks is one of those 2,5m X 1,5m back-lighted advertising monstrosities. Don’t know what was advertised but the (reddish) light did partially illuminate the platform.
