Your car will smoke a bit upon startup. It is normal. It will happen even more with a freshly rebuilt motor, same with the fuel economy. Depending on the rebuild it may take as many as 2k miles until the new engine is broken in.

Depends on the type of smoke but its probably just normal condensation. Just about all cars smoke on first startup.

The fuel mileage depends on how you drive it and what kind of mods the car has and what BomberMan said.

Often times smoke after a rebuild is various goop and such burning off. If you are driving in the city, expect about 8-14 mpg based on your tune, mods, etc. On a car with no tune, running super rich and maybe some bolt ons with the occasional spirited driving I'd expect 180-220 miles to a tank in the city.
