Depends on what you think of with economy cars. Some of the smaller
ones might disrupt traffic slightly if the right lane is not for the
slowest traffic, and the acceleration lane is to short.

But remember that hp is not everything, more important is the hp to
weight ratio.

I would certaintly catch up with the traffic with my 37 mpg car*,
although it would lower my mileage. But then again, at the highway, my
mileage should pass 40 mpg* maybee more.

OK, so it is a diesel(biodiesel) witch gives higher mileage than
petrol anyway.
