Compression is a trend monitoring tool. Plenty of reasons as to why it could be low. Hows the oil consumption, if I remember correctly the factory says 1 qt in a thousand miles is within spec. I would submit the type of driving will dictate oil usage. A 1000 mile trip with 4 engine starts is vastly different than a 1000 miles done 10 miles at a time.
