Kenyans are set to benefit from lower fuel prices after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority announced reductions on Saturday, February 14.
In its latest fuel review, EPRA lowered Super Petrol by Ksh4.24, Diesel by Ksh3.93, and Kerosene by Ksh1.00. The new retail prices will be Ksh178.28 per litre for petrol, Ksh166.54 for diesel, and Ksh152.78 for kerosene. The revised prices will take effect from February 15 and remain valid until March 14.
EPRA confirmed that the prices include the 16 percent Value Added Tax (VAT) in line with the Finance Act 2023 and the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024.
The regulator also noted a decrease in the average landed cost of imported petroleum products. Super Petrol fell by 2.69 percent from Ksh76,288.03 per cubic metre in December 2025 to Ksh74,239.91 in January 2026. Diesel dropped by 6.37 percent from Ksh80,733.36 to Ksh75,587.29 per cubic metre, while kerosene decreased by 1.44 percent from Ksh78,260.16 to Ksh77,135.62 per cubic metre over the same period.
“Currently, Kenya imports all its petroleum product requirements in refined form, and the products are traded in international markets based on a pricing benchmark,” EPRA said.
The regulator added, “Further, the trade of petroleum products in the international markets is denominated in United States dollars, and an exchange rate is applied to convert the dollar to Kenyan shillings during the computation of local pump prices.”
Regional Prices Offer Relief
Motorists in Mombasa will enjoy some of the lowest fuel prices in the country, with Super Petrol at Ksh175.00 per litre, Diesel at Ksh163.26, and Kerosene at Ksh149.49. The city’s position as the main entry point for imported petroleum helps explain the lower prices in Mombasa and other coastal counties.
In the capital, Nairobi, Super Petrol will sell at Ksh178.28 per litre, Diesel at Ksh166.54, and Kerosene at Ksh152.78. Nakuru motorists will pay Ksh177.34 for Super Petrol, Ksh165.95 for Diesel, and Ksh152.21 for Kerosene. In Eldoret, EPRA set prices at Ksh178.15 for Super Petrol, Ksh166.77 for Diesel, and Ksh153.03, reflecting a noticeable drop in fuel costs.
Continued Relief for Motorists
The announcement comes as welcome relief for many Kenyans, particularly motorists who had feared a price hike following reports that new regulatory charges might be introduced.
This reduction marks the second consecutive cut since the start of the year, following a Ksh2.00 price drop in the January–February cycle. With fuel costs easing, Kenyans can expect a modest reprieve at the pumps for the coming month.
