KEY POINTS

In Mombasa, super petrol will retail at 208.58 shillings, Diesel at 198 shillings, and Kerosene at 200 shillings. In Nakuru, a liter will jump to 210.63 for super petrol, 200.40 for Diesel, and 202.01 shillings for kerosene.

For the first time in history, fuel prices in Kenya have moved past 200 shillings per liter. Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene all moved up by as much as 20 shillings, hitting an all-time high since Kenya got independence with Kenyans set for more wailing.

This means that a liter of petrol, diesel, and kerosene will now retail at 211.64, 200.99, and 202.61 shillings per liter in Nairobi. This also means that Kenyans should prepare for the highest cost of living in history as inflation is set to skyrocket.

Fuel Prices

“The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol increased by 4.80% from US$739.21 per cubic meter in July 2023 to US$774.67 per cubic meter in August 2023; Diesel increased by 12.52% from US$701.99 per cubic meter to US$789.89 per cubic meter while Kerosene increased by 19.79% from US$690.58 per cubic meter to US$827.26 per cubic meter,” EPRA announced.

Motorists in Mandera will cough out 226 shillings for a liter of Super Petrol, 215 for Diesel, and 217 for kerosene. This is due to their distance from Mombasa.
