Fuel prices in Kenya have once again changed following the latest review by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA).
In this new update, super petrol will now cost more, while diesel and kerosene will be slightly cheaper. This review, which was released on Saturday, June 14, shows that the price of super petrol has gone up by Ksh2.69 per litre.
At the same time, diesel has dropped by Ksh1.95 per litre, and kerosene is now cheaper by Ksh2.06 per litre.
As a result of the new prices, super petrol in Nairobi will now sell at Ksh177.32 per litre. Diesel will be sold at Ksh162.91 per litre, while kerosene will retail at Ksh146.93 per litre.
EPRA stated that these prices will be in place from Saturday, June 14, to Monday, July 14. The new prices are set in accordance with the Petroleum Act of 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022.
EPRA noted that these figures represent the maximum prices allowed during this review period.
The prices also include 16% Value Added Tax as required by the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws Amendment Act 2024, and the updated excise duty rates that were adjusted for inflation according to Legal Notice No.194 of 2020.
EPRA said that the taxes and levies have all been included in the final cost.In Mombasa, the price of super petrol is now Ksh174.01 per litre, diesel Ksh159.62 and kerosene Ksh143.64.
Kisumu residents will pay Ksh177.28 for super petrol, Ksh163.23 for diesel, and Ksh147.30 for kerosene.
Nakuru will sell super petrol at Ksh176.47, diesel at Ksh162.41 and kerosene at Ksh146.47. In Eldoret, the prices are similar to Kisumu, with super petrol going for Ksh177.28, diesel Ksh163.24 and kerosene Ksh147.30 per litre.
EPRA further explained that these price changes are mainly due to the changes in global fuel costs. The average landed cost of imported super petrol increased by 0.35% from US$588.16 (Ksh76,166) in April 2025 to US$590.24 (Ksh76,436) in May 2025.
Diesel, however, dropped by 2.42%, from US$594.60 (Ksh77,000) to US$580.23 (Ksh75,139).
Kerosene saw the biggest drop of 5.14%, going from US$599.84 (Ksh77,679) to US$569.00 (Ksh73,685) in the same period.
According to EPRA, Kenya does not produce or refine its own fuel and therefore depends on imported petroleum products. This means that any change in global oil prices directly affects local fuel prices.
The increase in super petrol will likely affect many motorists, especially those using private cars, while those using diesel and kerosene might feel a small relief.
Many Kenyans are now turning their attention to the next fuel review, hoping for more favorable prices in the coming month.
With global oil prices always changing, the country remains at the mercy of international markets and decisions by fuel exporters. EPRA’s next update will be closely watched by both transport operators and ordinary citizens who rely on fuel for daily use.
