EPRA fuel prices: What petrol, diesel and kerosene will cost in Nairobi and major towns

Kenyan motorists and households will encounter varied pump prices for petrol, diesel, and kerosene across key cities starting August 15, 2026, as the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announces new fuel prices. Diesel will see a Ksh5 per litre decrease, while Super Petrol and kerosene retain their current rates. Nairobi citizens will pay Ksh214.03 per litre for Super Petrol, Ksh217.86 for diesel, and Ksh191.38 for kerosene.

Mombasa residents will face lower prices at Ksh210.87 per litre for Super Petrol, Ksh214.58 for diesel, and Ksh188.09 for kerosene, making Mombasa the most affordable city among the covered areas. Nakuru, Eldoret, and Kisumu motorists will pay Ksh212.92, Ksh213.69, and Ksh213.69 per litre for Super Petrol, respectively, with diesel prices at Ksh217.27, Ksh218.09, and Ksh218.08.

Kerosene will cost Ksh190.81 in Nakuru, Ksh191.63 in Eldoret and Kisumu, and Ksh188.09 in Mombasa. The Ksh5 diesel reduction translates to savings of Ksh100 for 20 litres, Ksh250 for 50 litres, and Ksh500 for 100 litres. The lower diesel prices benefit Nairobi households and businesses relying on diesel generators, vehicles, and machinery.

Inland towns like Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret, and Kisumu pay higher prices due to transportation and distribution costs. EPRA's price adjustments are influenced by the varying transportation and distribution expenses for petroleum products imported through Mombasa. Despite a 13.08% drop in the average landed cost of imported diesel between June and July, EPRA maintained Super Petrol and kerosene prices at their previous levels due to Ksh938 million in government stabilisation support.
