This fact will expose ME for the science geek that I am. Throttles are used on jet engines as well as rocket engines and work in similar fashion to the way they do on newer engines. They've been using these types of "throttle" mechanisms for decades.

I don't think we need to change our terminology just because the hardware has advanced in our cars.

P.S. Throttle is also a verb!
