not even on big trucks!?

I still think they could work, but not in the usual massively/truck-sized variety on a regular car.

Something more subtle might do the trick.
Renault / Dacia had them on the rear roof line of their eco-Logan.
Apparently they don't even work at big-truck scale. See https://www.tc.gc.ca/media/documents...T-MAY_2012.pdf section 7.5.2.2

Wish they did. My boxy-backed Smart Fortwo should be able to do better than the measly 38-39 it gets. Well, I do break 40 when I can keep it to 65 with no stop and go traffic, but how often does that happen?
