air dam and vortec generators

[green swift]

Hi all, I just finished my air dam and installing the VG's . I am going to start testing on my new tank of gas. My present mileage has gone up to 826km to 31.5 L. that tank I was perfecting the mild pulse and glide and about 4% gain. The VG's are along the top off the roof and along the bottom of the car's diffuser. So far I have seen some improvement in mileage.Still testing....

I use the shark fin type the most swirl with the least amount of drag... I do say that placement on the cars roof is very important to proper flow... I had to change my placement a few times using a crude testing device but I was amazed on how well it really worked, this was done and shown max results...

Nice car....my Wife & I used to have a `94 Swift sedan. That 1.3L was rather peppy.

If you're refering to the pic of the silver Lancer above...that's not my car. Here's a pic of the "Vortekz" fins on my Volvo wagon:

I built the double VGs here http://www.gassavers.org/showthread.php?t=1482. They look like sharks teeth. My kids point and laugh as well as other people but I point and laugh at then at the pump. From the grill block, double VGs, and P&G I'm reaping aprox 25% increase in mileage. From 31MPG to 39.8MPG in mixed highway and city driving. I say it's worth the laughs.

laughs are okay; I just hate it when an explanation is ask for by someone without the willingness nor mental skills to understand it.
While I do ( or at least think I do) understand the concept, I'm not sure that particular design of generator would help my Cavalier; maybe different on wagons, hatchbacks and trucks.

To the contrary, I always thought that VGs could most easily benefit the typical 'threebox' sedans over any other body style.
