Accelerator control

[Doug627586]

I am trying to find out how many cars use an electrical control for the accellerator (or throttle) instead of a cable control.
I understand the bits involved are a potentiometer (variable resistor) on the accellerator pedal, which then sends an electrical signal to a similar device at the fuel supply end, to adjust the amount of fuel issued to the cylinders to control the vehicle speed.
I believe it is only something used on more modern vehicles, but would be interested to know what percentage of newer vehicles use this method.

All BMW's have used this for number of years
