I made a count variable which increases by 1 every turn. Average value is set to 0, it increases by current speed every turn and is divided by the count. I thought this should work but in practice the average value is always too low.

I can consistently have 5 km/h for current speed every turn (0.6 seconds) and average will vary around 1-2. Any idea whats the problem and how I could fix this?
