Yeah, that's exactly my impression. I drive a Honda Insight (70+ mpg), and had a CRX (40+ mpg) before that. With both of them, after a light turned I'd generally be 50 yards or so down the road before most other cars began to move - and without using more than about half throttle.
I think the Insight is rated at a bit over 10 sec for 0-60, and that's fine with me.
