Is it ok to run a 50hp engine at full throttle for 20-30 minutes
straight? Does it consume exponential gas?

I know guys who only run two speeds, idle and wide open. Gas
consumption is the first casualty. I assume engine life also suffers.

I would also expect the engine to wear out much faster than normal if
run like this.
