In its latest fuel review, the prices of super petrol, diesel, and kerosene will now retail at Ksh174.63, Ksh164.86, and Ksh148.99, respectively, reflecting a decrease of Ksh1.95, Ksh2.20, and Ksh2.40 per litre, respectively.
EPRA noted that the new prices will be in force from Tuesday, April 15, to May 14.
In Nairobi, super petrol, diesel, and kerosene will now retail at Ksh174.63, Ksh164.86, and Ksh148.99, effective midnight for the next 30 days.

The average landed cost of imported super petrol decreased by 4.89 per cent from Ksh82,396.79 (US$637.22) per cubic metre in February 2025 to Ksh78,388.61 (US$606.06) per cubic metre in March 2025.
Diesel decreased by 6.45 per cent from Ksh87,974.91 (US$680.63) per cubic metre to Ksh82,388.87 (US$636.75) per cubic metre, while kerosene decreased by 6.53 per cent from Ksh86,876.15 (US$672.14) per cubic metre to Ksh81,228.97 (US$628.22) per cubic metre over the same period.
The latest announcement comes as good news for many Kenyans, particularly motorists who anticipated a hike; however, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has allayed their fears.
On Friday, CBK announced that international oil prices declined, with Murban oil trading at Ksh8,390 (USD64.77) per barrel on April 10 from Ksh9,300 (USD71.86) per barrel on April 3, reflecting concerns over the impact of US tariffs on global demand and increased production of oil in major oil-exporting countries.
In April, the prices of the products remained unchanged despite the drop in international oil prices during the week leading to the announcement.
