P0300 due to low compression?

I been having the p0300 for about 2 or 3 months since i bought the car. I already replaced the spark plugs and plenum gaskets. I also checked the coils resistance and they all seemed ok.

So I decided to do a compression test and the results where cylinders 2-4-6 measured 118,118,124. An cylinders 1-3-6 measured 148,148,148.

I know the compression is low and the car does burn oil, but it still pull hard and drives good. But i am unsure if having that low compression can cause the p0300 multiple misfire code to appear?

I asked two different mechanics and both told me that even tho the compression was kind of low that, that shouldnt produce the p0300 code.

So im posting here to see if someone can have an answer to my question.. I did searched through the forum but none really related to my problem.
