I generally have not seen strakes on the difusers of high fuel economy cars. At least I don't recall them. Some interesting photos of Priuses.

Very small strakes in a sort of airfoil shape are visible in some of these, but farther forward, between the axles.

See link for a couple more:

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
