vortex generators create downforce, not save gas.

It works. You actually double your gas mileage if you put two on.

Well we use vortex generators on the leading edges on the wings of the aircraft I work on. In this case, vortex generators cause vortices under the wings which gives the wings more lift...not downforce.
