I bought this car a little over a year ago and a few months ago I noticed that when it was idling that some smoke/steam is rising from the exhaust. Granted it has all been during the winter months, but it continues to do so even when the car is warm. I drive it on long trips sometimes of 700 or more miles in day, and it has never overheated and runs great. The smoke dissepates and has no particular smell to it. It is also not billowing out. The other day I checked my coolant level and it was low I filled it up and have driven it about 125 miles since then and it still does the same thing and the coolant hasn't moved a bit. I took it by the shop to get it put on the diagnostics test, but the mechanic didn't want to do anything because he thought nothing was wrong. FYI the car calls for premium and i put midgrade in it for over a year and someone told me that might have something to so with it. The car also has dual exhaust. Do you think I may have a serious problem?

I agree with your mechanic, i belive there is no problem with your vehicle, it is probalby a little bit of water in the gas causing this.
