One possibility is that the mileage varies with temperature . I typically show 
60 miles in summer and 40 in winter ( northern VA).

Also I think it projects mileage based on recent usage. So the trips to and 
from mailbox may be poor mileage trips.

Does it show 40 miles after several more chargings?
