Check Engine light and some smoke from tailpipe...
A few days ago I noticed smoke from the tailpipe after starting the car up and when revving the engine up to about 3000 rpm. I know it consumes a small amount of oil so I wasn't too surprised--still, that was more smoke than I've noticed in the past.
Today the Check Engine light came on. Ran over to Advance Auto and they checked the codes, which came back as P0300, P0301, and P0302. They indicate cylinder 1 and 2 misfires.
Spark plugs only have about 12,000 miles on them, so I wouldn't think that they're ready to be replaced yet, but what do you guys think?
Would misfiring cause smoke, or is the oil consumption causing the misfire?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Tigger is right about the smoke. How do the coils look. Did you try swapping the coils around to see if the misfires follow?

Sounds good. Do keep us updated if the codes come back.
