I dont see your problem.
He certainly left the city before the bombs went off...but this doesnt mean he immediately made its way on the island, he could have done something else in the meantime. WHICH IS VERY LIKELY. (Changing clothes, getting guns/ammo..watching news about his bomb etc.)
The bigger mystery is (IMO) why the police needed 98 mins (!!!) to appear on the island. There are various reports ranging from 30mins to 98mins...30mins would be "understandable" but 90+ mins would be a scandal, meaning the Norway police has blood on their hands if they really needed 90mins for 20 miles.

So my question is then, how can the police then say that the first phone call for help came at 17:27, 1 hour 17 minutes after the killer after my calculations is supposed to have killed his first two victims?

According to this article the first reports from Utoya came at 17:25 local time, so what did the killer do for the 1 hour 15 minutes that is unaccounted for?

On another point what I found almost ridiculous is the interview with Oslo police chief who when asked why no heli was sent out with a swat team to save the youths (they used a leaking boat!!!) the reply was. "We only had ONE helicopter and because it was filled with lots of equipment, we had to use other slower means. Later he changed his answer to; " It was too small for our SWAT team so we had to use a car and a small boat to reach the island." So one of the worlds richest countries, with many Lynx and Bell helicopters, sevral dozens F16:s and with more oil and gas than man can dream of couldn´t afford a couple of rapid SWAT helicopters? Errr...yeaahh right. Did some strange budget restrictions prohibit more than a single police helicopter untimely filled with crap? It seems the scene is set, the crazed murderer who massacred over 80 kids with dumdum bullets is caught, the press is right now outside the oslo court, the decision date of trial date to be made.
