what did you use to calculate the differences between the dates? If you did it manually, did you take leap years into account? If you use a spreadsheet or something it will give you the most accurate result. The way computers calculate dates is not likely to be the reason for the drift you're seeing. It could be down to the clock on the camera drifting, for example with a weak battery. If you're really, really bothered about it you could download all the data into a spreadsheet, plug in your known dates as reference points, plot a trend based on the known differences, then apply the trend to the exif dates to get an approximate answer. Personally I would just live with it, but I tend not to use the dates.
