Iirc, my norweigan friend drove his in the freeway at least to 55, and I have seen many restored doing the same, but I don't know for how far. Note this is generally flat and level driving, although my friend drove back from Bakersfield up hill to Tehachapi, I think it took about 3 hours for an hour trip

Also the SAE hp specifications changed between 1920 and now resulting in a higher number, so it may have been rated about 27 hp today
