“Per 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 November 15 to December 14,” EPRA stated.

“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 rates for excise duty adjusted for inflation as per Legal Notice No.194 of 2020,” the statement added.
Regional Prices
Fuel prices across major towns will also remain steady. In Mombasa, Super Petrol will retail at Ksh181.24, Diesel at Ksh168.19, and Kerosene at Ksh151.49 per litre. In Kisumu, prices were set at Ksh184.37 for Super Petrol, Ksh171.68 for Diesel, and Ksh155.03 for Kerosene.
Diesel recorded a 1.81 per cent increase, rising from US$623.75 (Ksh80,619) per cubic metre to US$635.05 (Ksh82,080). Kerosene also saw a modest rise of 0.71 per cent, from US$627.72 (Ksh81,132) per cubic metre to US$632.16 (Ksh81,706).
Despite these increases, EPRA noted that other variables, including exchange rates and buffer margins, were factored into the November review, resulting in unchanged retail prices.

July 2025 had witnessed the largest spike in pump prices in more than a year, with Super Petrol rising by Ksh8.99, Diesel by Ksh8.67, and Kerosene by Ksh9.65 per litre. Since then, prices have gradually declined, easing pressure on consumers.
As the festive season approaches, the stability in fuel costs is likely to be welcomed by transport operators, traders, and households, even as broader concerns about inflation and the cost of living persist.
