EPRA Announces Slight Drop in Fuel Prices as Petrol Hits Ksh184.52 in Nairobi
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced a slight decrease in fuel prices in its latest monthly review.
The review released on Sunday, September 14 shows that Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene prices will go down by Ksh0.79, Ksh0.11 and Ksh0.80 per litre respectively.
In Nairobi, motorists will pay Ksh184.52 for Super Petrol, Ksh171.47 for Diesel and Ksh154.78 for Kerosene starting midnight, Monday, September 15.
“In accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, we have calculated the maximum retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from 15th September 2025 to 14th October 2025,” EPRA said in a statement.
Second time in a row fuel prices go down
This is the second time in a row fuel prices have gone down. In the August-September review, Super Petrol had gone down by Ksh1.
Across the regions, motorists will also get small reductions. In Mombasa, Super Petrol will retail at Ksh181.24 per litre, Diesel at Ksh168.19. In Thika, petrol will retail at Ksh184.16 and Diesel at Ksh171.47.
The new prices are inclusive of the 16% Value-Added Tax (VAT) as per the Finance Act 2023 and the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024.
Import costs go down
The small drop is on the back of lower import costs. The average landed cost of Super Petrol went down by 0.46% from Ksh96,728 (USD623.71) per cubic metre in July 2025 to Ksh96,262 (USD620.84) in August 2025.
Diesel recorded a bigger drop of 3.38% from Ksh98,558 to Ksh95,275 per cubic metre while Kerosene went down by 2.93% from Ksh97,303 to Ksh94,438 per cubic metre.
Global oil prices up
This is despite global crude prices going up. The Central Bank of Kenya’s weekly bulletin on September 12 reported that Murban crude oil went up by 2.5% per barrel due to supply disruptions in the Middle East.
“International oil prices rose due to supply disruptions from the Middle East and the war in Ukraine even as concerns over weakening US demand and expected oversupply from OPEC+ countries,” CBK noted.
Kenya which imports most of its petroleum products adjusts local pump prices based on global crude trends, exchange rates and other cost factors.
