*The employees don't like hitchhikers here. So don't stand right in front the store as a tip.* Nevertheless, we asked about 50+ cars in 50 minutes maybe even more. Many people just barely going over the border (like Kleve or 's-Heerenberg, Netherlands) or the cars are already full with people. Right as we got told by the employees to stop asking people for a ride. We just got one 2 minutes before al the way to the center of Köln. 140km/90 minute ride. Another group of friends got at this shell at the same time as us and they got a ride all the way to Dusseldorf Airport in 3 minutes of being there. Unfortunately they didn't have room for 4 people, only 3. So that is why we had to wait for 50 additional minutes (we got to Köln earlier though). Many Hitchhikers come here do, just took us a lot of time to get a good ride. It's about luck here!!

The guy at the tank station asked us not to stand at the front which is not ideal. Also not a lot of cars because the tank station is in the Netherlands and the gas prices are higher. And people where very blunt and rude here. Would not recommend

Shell gas station. The staff asked me to not hitchhike in front of the station but allowed me to try it at the back of the building. Not ideal...

Got a very quick ride heading to Cologne here in the summer of '13.

Towards Emmerich/Oberhausen. Not that many cars stopping here, and it seems most are only short rides but you might find the occasional long ride.
