Unhappy I put 89 gas and today it smoked for a while...

Hey guys its been really cold up in florida, we are talking around 40-50 degress in the mornings and 50 to 60 in the afternoons, so it usually gives off a liltle smoke just at start up. Its a rebuild engine with 3k on it... anyways im running premix and yesterday i went to fill her up and i used 89 grade gas from shell gas station and some premix and now today early in the morning their was a lot of smoke at start up i mean it was alot... could it be the gas? also im using 20w-50 oil should i go back to 10w-30? thanx guys for the help and ill update. THANX SERIOUSLY!

The car runs fine and it doesnt seem to be eating coolant but i do have really low compression and a small streetport.

yeah that might have to do with it as well... also my exhuast is about 10 years old and has rust everywhere ( its not the stock) it has one precat cusco i think is called but it might be in really bad condition, the car sounds like crap as well i think is due to he exhaust though... anyone else have any ideas?
