Assuming that the computer is calculating the average by taking a series of vehicle speed readings, it could be plotting the first reading at 0 KPH.

It you have 1 reading at 0 KPH and 17 reading at 100 KPH, then the average speed is 94.4

If this theory is correct, you would expect this to even out over a longer period of driving.

This is just a guess.
