Possibly people who are used to thinking about adrenaline mostly as a feeling, not a hormone, wouldn't even notice. I do, though.

When the term adrenaline fueled is used, you know what it means. If the term jumps was used, the author would have to describe it in more detail when a modern term could have been used instead. I'd go for the modern term.
