Price of Petrol on the Rise as Diesel Falls in Latest Review

The price of petrol has been revised upwards by 17 cents, diesel down by 4 cents while Kerosene dropped by 39 cents in Nairobi for September to October rates by the Kenya Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).

As a result, Petrol from (Saturday 15) will retail higher per litre compared to diesel  until the next review in November 14 when the ERC adjusts them in its monthly reviews.

Motorists in Nairobi will pay Sh91.56 for a litre of petrol at the pump, up from Sh91.39 while diesel, mainly used to run trucks, buses and tractors, will cost Sh82.12 a litre down from Sh82.46.
The energy regulator attributed the variation in the price movements of petrol and diesel to different import costs of the commodities when the stocks were purchased.
