I like the "don't worry, be happy" route. I wondered about a faulty pressure check, too. Originally I asked the mechanic to check out a vibration I have in 3rd gear. He came back and said the engine was sounding bad and worse than it had on previous visits so he was afraid I was in serious trouble. Thus, the compression tests. The fuel economy rating is 19 - 26 mpg, so it couldn't do much better than the 26-27 I'm getting now. If anyone else has any thoughts please let me know. It's an old car but I hope to keep it going as long as possible.
