It could simply be the road.  Most roads are paved such that there is
a "crown" where the center of the road is highest and the shoulders
are lowest for water drainage.  Even if your alignment is spot-on,
chances are you'd get a gradual drift to the right if you let your
hands off the steering wheel.
