I have noticed the same thing, but it always jumps back up once I start moving again. I think it calculates the remaining distance based on driving habits of the last few minutes/miles or something to that effect. I have nothing to back that assertion up beyond what I have observed, but it seems to work along those lines. This seems to make it easy to manipulate by doing crazy throttle changes or a lot of stop/start, but for longer trips where you are moving at a more constant speed, it's pretty spot on.
