Two sources come to mind:

1) Non-HTTP traffic that isn't processed by Squid.
2) TCP/IP protocol overhead for HTTP traffic (which isn't included in the
access.log data).

Your best solution would be to use a low-level tool that tracks the traffic
sent and received at the network interface level. The "ifconfig" command on
Linux includes information on bytes sent and received for each network
interface, and a search for "ip accounting" or "traffic accounting" should
turn up some other solutions.
