What Do YOU Call the Pedal on the Right?

[Waterleo]

I had fun posting the bit about throttle plates, so If you are wondering where all the sucked out fun went, look no further!

At risk of seeming even more pedantic and vacuuming up any remaining fun in this thread, I interpreted "mechanical throttle" as ruling out modern "drive by wire" and direct injection fuel systems brought up by others.

Wait... there's more than one pedal?

Gas pedal.

After giving it some more thought (I'm retired), has anyone offered "power pedal". It is an accurate description, only two syllables, is a nice alliteration and rolls off of the tongue easily.

I guess the pedals could be "go" and "uh-oh" since use of the left pedal is only required in emergencies (if one so chooses)

"power pedal" ... only two syllables

Well, I believe that's four syllables.

Not if you slur it.
