Why? Unless you have violated the usual naming conventions and bar.gz has not already been gzipped, which is just plain confusing and will eventually bite someone when they are confused.
Compressing a compressed file doesn't work. The file will probably increase in size. gunzipping the file then using a better compression program such a bzip would probably be useful. but might not be worth the trouble unless the uncompressed file is really big.
