Compression Ratio is defined as the ratio of Maximum engine volume to minimum engine volume. In Mechanical Terminology, its ratio of Total Volume to Clearance Volume. It is fundamental specification of engine. For Spark Ignition engines, the ratio will be around 10:1 to 15:1.

The ratio of the maximum piston volume to the minimum compressed volume is called the compression ratio.. Compressing the fuel and air will make them burn faster, which (though I'm not sure directly how) makes the engine run better.
