The mechanic probably had a piece of carbon stuck in his one-way valve on his compression testor, and it wasn't holding full pressure during comp test. It's happened to me before, and can appear like a motor loosing compression. That's my half-a$$ed best guess?

Severe flooding washes the oil off ov the rings and can cause the lifters to collapse reducing compression. If your gas milage sucks, find the cause or it will do it again.
As I tell everyone with poor gas milage, check your oil. Smell it for gas. Change it if there is gas. Gas in the oil will wear an engine out quick.

If gas milage is OK, maybe the injectors are dripping after you turn it off.
