Default Compression #'s not consistent... bad?

The car is a 96' M44 with just about 170k on it. I've never done a compression test and was just curious what the readings were so I did a test today.

I dont think the headgasket is bad -- no white smoke, no oil in the coolant, and no coolant in the oil, oil cap looks good.

1 - 200psi
2 - 185psi
3 - 120 psi
4 - 110psi

Would the results differ at all if the car was on a slight incline? Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Derrick
