On the basis of the scientific evidence that is available, and the results of this test, we very much doubt whether vortex generators fitted to the trailing edges of vehicles will reduce drag.
Something I've suspected is that these may be a poor choice for vehicle shapes that try to minimize the area where the flow separates, like an Insight or Prius, but boxy vehicles, like Jeeps, old hatches, or longboxes/pups may benefit way more from it.
