Good question. I was wondering that myself. When I floor it, the smoke starts out black and then goes to gray/white. I hope it's normal.

A little grey smoke at startup is normal. Grey/white smoke(from what I have read on this site) is not normal, and definately needs more attention. I see grey smoke at startup, but never see grey/white smoke during normal driving conditions. Do a search on white smoke on this site. There is plenty on info.

White smoke from a fully warmed up engine can be indication of Coolant leak into combustion chamber. Probably through a bad head gasket.
