Aero mod - vortex generators

I remember a bit about this in dealing with tractor trailer aerodynamics. Figured this might be a little way to make some increases in POV FE.

Comments, experience, suggestions?

What's "POV" FE?

Don't mean to be a dink, but have you tried the search feature? VG's have been discussed a LOT around here. Too much, in my opinion!

EG: have you seen this thread: Tested: Airtabs on a mini van, A-B-A - no measurable effect

LOL yeah in this case POV = Privately Owned Vehicle. For some reason I have had zero luck in getting search to work for me. A glitch in my computer I guess. Not too hard to type in and hit result but I keep coming up blank even on things I know are in here.
