The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced that fuel prices will remain unchanged for the October 15 - November 14 review.
Epra said that in accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, they have calculated the maximum retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from October 15, 2025 to November 14, 2025.
"In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene remain unchanged," the Authority said.
In last month's review released on Sunday, September 14, pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene each decreased by Sh0.79, Sh0.11 and Sh0.80 per liter.
In Nairobi, Super Petrol will retail at Sh184.52, Diesel at Sh171.47 and Kerosene at Sh154.78 effective midnight for the next 30 days.
"The prices are inclusive of the 16 per cent 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," Epra said in a statement.
In Mombasa, the prices will retail as follows: Super Petrol at Sh181.21, Diesel Sh168.19 and Kerosene Sh151.49 while in Nakuru Super Petrol will retail at Sh183.56, Diesel at Sh170.87 and Kerosene Sh154.21.

In the August review, Epra reduced the price of fuel by Sh1.
The authority stated that the prices for super petrol and kerosene reduced by Sh1 per litre, while diesel remained the same.
In Nairobi, super petrol, diesel and kerosene retailed at Sh185.31, Sh171.58 and Sh155.58.
Epra said the purpose of the Petroleum Pricing Regulations is to cap the retail prices of petroleum products which are already in the country for importation and other prudently incurred costs are recovered while ensuring reasonable prices to consumers.
"We wishe to assure the public of its continued commitment to the observance of fair competition and protection of the interests of both consumers and investors in the energy and petroleum sectors," the statement read.
On July 14, Epra increased fuel prices by Sh 8.99 for petrol, Sh8.67 for diesel and Sh9.65 per litre of kerosene.
In last July’s fuel prices review, Freight cost increases had an impact as shipping lines reacted to the attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway located between Iran and Oman, connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.
It was a vital chokepoint for global oil and natural gas trade, with approximately 20 per cent of global oil consumption and 20 per cent of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade passing through it daily.
