NAIROBI, Kenya — Kenyan motorists can expect stable fuel costs over the next month, as the Energy Petroleum and Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced that prices for super petrol, diesel, and kerosene will remain unchanged from March 15 to April 15, 2026.

In Nairobi, a litre of super petrol will continue to retail at Ksh.178.28, diesel at Ksh.166.54, and kerosene at Ksh.152.78. In Mombasa, prices will hold at Ksh.175.00 for super petrol, Ksh.163.26 for diesel, and Ksh.149.49 for kerosene.

Meanwhile, motorists in Nakuru will pay Ksh.177.34, Ksh.165.95, and Ksh.152.21 per litre for super petrol, diesel, and kerosene, respectively. Kisumu consumers will see prices at Ksh.178.16, Ksh.166.76, and Ksh.153.03.

“The prices are inclusive of the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) in line with the provisions of the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024, and the revised excise duty rates adjusted for inflation as per Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020,” EPRA stated.

The regulator also addressed recent speculation that fuel costs might surge due to the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict.

EPRA clarified that the war has not yet impacted domestic fuel prices because the country’s oil reserves were imported prior to the outbreak of hostilities.

“The Authority has considered vessels that were received and discharged between February 10, 2026, and March 9, 2026. Most of these were February-priced cargoes, so the situation in the Middle East has not yet affected our pricing,” EPRA noted.

Last month, fuel prices had fallen slightly, with super petrol, diesel, and kerosene dropping by Ksh.4.20, Ksh.3.90, and Ksh.1.00 per litre, respectively.
