I can feel a headache coming on. I’m guessing this is not possible
with FW creating css files?
It’s a server thing, it has nothing to do with FW. Your (Apache)
server will need to have mod_gzip enabled or you can also do it with
PHP. Loads of tutorials explaining the “what” and “how” of it.

With regard to combining the 2 css files produced by fw using the
method I’m employing - this is currently not possible as far as I’m
aware.
It’s possible to compress and merge multiple CSS or Javascript files
on-the-fly, there’s no need to manually combine files. There are
numerous variations on how this is accomplished using gzip, zlib(PHP)
etc. with, I’m sure, pros and cons for each.
Wouldn’t compressing the files change the filename? instead of .css it would be .gzip or something? and if that’s the case how would FW locate the file.

Yes, it requires modifying the file extension but a quick search
turned up one that doesn’t and there may be others as well. As for FW
locating the css files I don’t know if there’s a quick and easy
solution though there may very well be, it’s been some time since I
used FW for production work. Otherwise it might require a more manual
(non-FW) approach to creating and linking to the stylesheets.
