Mike,

With all due respect I would suggest that you read the whole article (I did)
then readdress the subject.

I agree whole heartedly that vortex generators can reduce drag; HOWEVER,
they have to be designed and located properly.

I doubt that generating a vortex to reduce drag was taken into consideration
when any of the items mounted on the surface of a GMC I mentioned were
designed or located on a GMC. ....

Agreed.

I never claimed anything attached to a GMC (OEM or not) created turbulence of the correct size, shape or location to help MPG or performance.

I was just trying to point out that not all turbulence was bad... even though most of it that we encounter is NOT helpful.

I do not need to go back and read the article... I pointed you at it and you read it for me! Twisted Evil

I had read a little on the subject in the past, when I had a bit of time. _IF_ I was interested in going for a land speed record, I would be collecting, reading and studying everything I could find on airflow characteristics... including vortex generators.
