So you consistently driving 28-29% above the speed limit?
No seriously, in my experience it is taking a slightly conservative approach and estimating that you will drive on average slightly below the speed limit, to make up for things such as traffic lights and slow traffic. But if most of your journey is motorway with little traffic you will arrive well before the original ETA calculation. But after a bit the system does start to change the estimates.
What annoys be though is that it does not take traffic problems into consideration when calculating the ETA.
