Try exercise, stretching and yoga (along with good diet), better than ibuprofen or naproxen.
Woke!

So, those Nomads that use Advil get your blessing?
I rarely need Aleve but when I do yard work, lifting, or chores, I found Aleve (or the generic naproxen equivalent) does better than Motrin or
Tylenol. It was a recent discovery after hearing my father-in-law rave about it for years.
I don't smoke dope like you, either.

All you need to do is use google search to read about the negative side effects of NSAIDs.
THC and CBD are claimed by many to be effective pain relievers.

Goat,
Clinical studies show that THC reduces your sex drive and your IQ! Ibuprofen works great!

Fellow Nomads. Be careful of too much Ibuprofen, Advil, Naproxen and the like.
All of those stress the Kidney's if done in excess.
Not preaching here as I used to abuse the above from many years of Sports and excessive exercises and yard work.
I lost a Kidney at age 50 (not because of the above- Cancer) but since then have abstained from the stuff and only can use Acetaminophen (darn)

Thread run amok
Just as Paul remarked.
So, to return to the original thought of 91 octane,
At Summit Racing this is one of the most preferred boosters
https://www.summitracing.com/parts/klz-kl-628
As with many things, you may be paying for the results you want. $67.00/gallom and you add 1 oz per gallon of gasoline
OCTANE BOOSTER™
• Recommended for gasoline or ethanol
enriched fuels
• Increases pump gasoline octane up to 10 numbers
• Tetraethyl lead substitute for added lubricity
• Stabilizes flame front and controls burn speed
• Cleans injectors, carburetors and
catalytic converters
• 02
and converter safe
• No MTBE
• Absorbs moisture
• Not for use or sale in the state of California

Back to Octane boosting. (How did we get off on pain killers?) The California refineries add Ethanol and Propane both raise octane. pump gas can be up
to 10-15% Ethanol at times. Some of the OTC octane boosters state that they clean injectors and remove water too so they are probably some kind of
Alcohol. Just plain water removes carbon deposits that can cause detonation from valves and pistons. New engines with computer controls generally
don’t accumulate as many carbon deposits as older engines did.

Why would you need to adjust octane in a late model vehicle? Modern cars are pretty good at knock sensing and self-adjusting ignition. Just run the
recommended fuel, and your vehicle will run fine, the computers in cars will take care of minor variations in fuels by region or season.
If your car is not running well on normal fuel, perhaps you screwed up the car monkeying around under the hood, eh?
Woke!

I had a late model car 7 or 8 years ago that required 91 octane gas. It didn’t run well even on 89 octane gas. This thread is about improving
whatever the guys selling gas at the BofLA turn-off sell as “gasoline” to run in things requiring higher octane.
Generally, emission computers retard the spark when they sense knock. This controls the knock at the expense of HP! Some late model engines can also
adjust valve timing. Low octane gas reduces HP and can damage the engine!

I had a Toyota FJ Cruiser for a few years. It was fantastic in the snow (I would have never survived the winter of 2014/2015 without it) but it took
91 octane gas and only got about 15 miles per gallon. Fortunately it looked cool, so I was able to sell it at a good enough price to buy a slightly
used Toyota RAV4 and still had several thousand dollars left over.
