Haven't seen anything like the A-B-A testing your mention other than a windtunnel test on the airtab manufacturer's site. One must be skeptical of course, but it was quite detailed anyhow. Perhaps that would be of interest to you?.

I do know that the airtabs I purchased are designed for vehicles that have a rear surface that is at an angle of 30 degrees or more from the roof. This is why I tried them on my hatchback. I suspect that a "normal car" such as a standard sedan or fastback coupe would not see any benefit.
