Vocabulary

accelerator

Is this understanding correct?
1. accelerator - BrE
2. gas pedal - AmE and BrE
Naturally, I would appreciate information about
other English-speaking countries also.

Thank you.

Accelerator is commonly used in AmE as well. "Gas" is also used without "pedal". " I believe that petrol is commonly used in BrE instead of gas, so they may not use "gas pedal".
