it just occurred to me that with the passing of petrol engines, phrases like "full throttle" or "high octane" will pass into the realms of anachronism within a generation

There was a threat about anachronisms in media taking you out of it. Not an anachronism, but in a Spirit story by Alan Moore, there is a criminal eating his last breakfast, in Central City, and it is clearly an English breakfast, with cooked tomatoes and beans and everything short of haggis. Bzzzzt!
