You actually make a good point. During commute traffic, everyone races past me, but it's fruitless and wasteful. I eventually catch up, because we all get stuck in the same traffic jam.
They waste fuel by going too fast. They waste fuel by having to idle their engine longer in the traffic jam. And, they get to their destination no faster. It's a triple loss. Perhaps four losses, if you count their stupidity for not being observant and learning.
