hey guys,

ive got a honda civic fd1

when i start the engine in the mornings, i notice more heavy than normal white smoke. Wondering if thats normal? I've been filling a mix of 91, 95 and 91% with 10% ethonal as well. Had its last service for oil change about 2 months ago.

any input appreciated

just wanted to know if its normal cause afterwards u dont notice, its only noticed when engine start up and drive for the next 2-3 mins as I stop at traffic light and look at my side mirrors seeing it blowing out throughout compared to other cars on the road
