The above isn't exactly true. While trunk mounted wings aren't quite as effective they will still provide downforce. Voltex doesn't operate a wind tunnel so their wings can look better, they do it to make a better performing wing. However you do need substantial speeds to see substantial benefit. A spoiler will slightly increase gas mileage while a wing will make drag decreasing gas mileage. Again, only slightly
