Maybe there are some dead tuples, run a VACUUM FULL (be careful, it requires an explicit lock). And please keep in mind that a table can contains indexes and other objects. A nice explanation and some ways to gather informations on table-, index- and database sizes can you find here: http://andreas.scherbaum.la/blog/archives/282-table-size,-database-size.html
