gas pedal
Speed-increasing foot lever
Gas pedal is the foot-operated lever in a vehicle that controls engine speed and acceleration.
Pressing it increases fuel flow to the engine.
She floored the gas pedal and sped away.
Also called the accelerator, especially in British English.
Figuratively, to hit the gas pedal on something is to accelerate its progress.
