Curiosity, compression readings....

I did a compression test on my truck a few weeks back, and wanted to see what kinds of numbers other people are getting when they do theirs. I think my readings seem a little low, but the truck runs great, doesnt burn oil, is easy to start, and doesnt really have any problems.

All 8 of my cylinders gave readings between 105 and 112.
