Herb:

Ahem!  That ain't no VG, my friend.  That is an inverted airfoil with an air 
dam on each end.

If I thought I could get better slow speed flight and eliminate that dreaded 
"5th wheel drop", I'd have those little suckers stuck all over it.

That old Taylor Wing is worth a 10% decrease in fuel burn.  I'm over 6,000 
miles into this trip.  That figures out to a little over 600 miles free 
pulling.  ;-)

Take care,
