Its steam..

Condensation.. Try breathing under the same conditions and you also produce condensation.

If your head gasket was fubar'ed on a day like that your car would fill the street with steam.

Your car is fine, dont panic.

Fuel (petrol) is a hydro-carbon.....mix the hydro bit with oxygen at a ratio of 2:1 and you get...wait for it.... WATER!

Well, fancy that!
