I have a 02 on 38 with 3.73's and at 65 I get 19.5 so 25 at 60 is very believable.
I find it hard to believe that 38's on stock gears get anywhere near 19mpg, unless of course downhill both ways with a tailwind. I've got 38's on 4.30s and have gotten 16 once or twice. Other than that, 12-14mpg. Mine is a 2000 F250
