Most analogue gauges also use clockwise to indicate an increase in a quantity. I think every car I've owned has had the minor gauges (eg temp, fuel) with the high temp / full tank to the clockwise or right of the low temp / empty tank, and certainly the speedo and rev counter have been that way round. However I do recall seeing a car that had some gauges calibrated backwards.
Even after analogue clocks have gone out of fashion, analogue gauges in cars are still far more common than digital, even if in some cases the needle is replaced by a ring of LEDs which light up in sequence to indicate the "needle" position.
I wonder if we will ever get to a stage where *all* analogue displays (clocks, car gauges etc) are things of the past, and few people know what "clockwise" means.
I've just remembered: I've got a clock that is calibrated and runs anti-clockwise. It's for Old Peculier [sic] beer, so it's inevitable that it is designed to run in a peculiar direction, as a gimmick.
