加油 (jiā yóu) — to refuel, to add oil; (fig.) to cheer on, to encourage; to make an extra effort

Literally 'add oil' — used both for refueling a vehicle and (much more commonly in speech) as a cheer like 'come on! / keep it up!'. Unlike 加快, it doesn't describe a process of speeding up; it's a shout of encouragement.
