Default car is running rich i think

ok my car is bone stock. i just got it in february, when i start it up in the garage and let it run, there is a light haze in the air......and it stinks.

im thinkin maybe old gas because it sat for awhile before i bought it and drove it home....but i filled it up with 93 octane before the trip so it should have burned out most of the gas no? there is still a half tank left from the trip. maybe its a mixture of good/bad gas? what do you guys think?



*edit* its a 99 camaro ss.......sorry bout that. lol

sounds to me like your cats aren't doing their jobs, or maybe you don't have cats at all. Are you sure your car is COMPLETELY stock?
