Whereas my experience with boxy vehicles and a sedan is they made no measurable difference

Tested: Airtabs on a mini van, A-B-A - no measurable effect and
Tested: vortex generators (AirTabs) on a Toyota Corolla
(Although that's with AirTabs, not delta style VG's)
I get the impression that VG's are seen by many as a magic bullet. They're not.
Recall that even in a
scientifically optimised deployment of delta wing style VG's, Mitsubishi's results were a reduction in the coefficient of drag of just -
0.006 .
