Why do Trip Computer and Trip Odometer Disagree?

For the first time (don't know why I waited this long), I compared the reading of my trip computer's average mpg and that calculated by the distance of my trip odometer and gas put in at fill up. Its a '93 CSET by the way.
So my the trip computer (reset at last fillup) reads 25.4 mpg. My trip odometer (also reset at last fillup) was 321 miles and the tank took 14.879 gallons at fill-up for a 21.6 mpg.
Now I didn't expect them to be exactly the same, but this is a big difference. I thought I was getting between 25-26 mpg as I've been trusting my trip computer, but it seems that I'm getting only 21-22 mpg which would be quite disappointing. Any ideas what could be accounting for the difference? Please don't be concerned about pointing out the obvious error if any, I've done it before so I'll live ;-)
