Default Compression test part II (ouch)

So I did a comp test last week, numbers were 180, 195, 175, 200 .. since i was changing the plugs today i decided to do the oil down the plug hole test, and the numbers went to 210, 235, 200, 250!!! is there a direct correlation between psi and torque? am i not getting 10-20% power because i have blown rings? ouch!! please, please advise... btw... car is burning a good amount of oil. 1 quart every 500 miles or so. gas milage is 28-30 so not too bad, and there is NO water on the dipstick. any help is really really appreciated.
