The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has adjusted fuel prices, implementing marginal reductions for super petrol and kerosene while maintaining diesel prices at current levels.
Effective from 15 August to 14 September 2025, the prices of super petrol and kerosene have decreased by Sh1.00.
Motorists in Nairobi will now pay Sh185.31 per litre for super petrol, compared to Sh186.31 the previous month. Kerosene prices will now stand at Sh155.58 per litre, while diesel prices remain unchanged at Sh171.58 per litre.
The price adjustments follow a review of landed costs for imported petroleum products, which showed mixed trends in global markets.
The average landed cost of super petrol decreased by 0.73% from $628.30 per cubic metre in June 2025 to $623.71 in July 2025, contributing to the slight reduction in local pump prices. In contrast, diesel and kerosene recorded increases in import costs, rising by 3.08% and 3.20% respectively.
The new prices include the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) as stipulated by the Finance Act 2023, alongside adjustments for inflation-linked excise duty under Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020.
These modest price changes are expected to provide limited relief to households and businesses amid persistent economic pressures.
