What part of "2.74 light years per day" seems low? Assuming your break down to the day level is right, to expand, it means at warp 9 voyager is capable of covering a distance of 2.74 light years in 1 day. That means the distance that light could travel in 2.74 years, Voyager could cover in 1 day. So warp 9 = 2.74 x 365 x speed of light =~ 1000 times speed of light. So warp 1 = speed of light. warp 9 = 1000 times speed of light. which does not seem 'low' to me.
