    I use 87 Octane gas as recommended in the manual, but I notice alot of fume coming out of the exhaust when I'm at a stop.

    Its probably water vapor due to the colder weather of winter

    Not much else to add. It’s cold, the ECU will run rich to warm up the catalytic converters for emissions.

    If it’s still doing this at idle when everything is up to operating temp, then it could be a problem. Assuming it’s not below 0 where you are, then it’s just how it is.

    Unless the smoke has a blueish tint, then you are fine, it’s just water vapor. Blue smoke means it’s burning engine oil.
