Fuel Pump/FILEMotorists across the country will continue paying the same prices at the pump after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) retained fuel prices for the period between July 15 and August 14, 2026.
In a statement released on Tuesday, EPRA said the maximum retail prices of Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene will remain unchanged for the next 30 days despite continued volatility in global oil markets.
"We have calculated the maximum retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from July 15, 2026, to August 14, 2026," EPRA said.
Under the latest review, Super Petrol will continue retailing at Sh214.03 per litre in Nairobi, Diesel at Sh222.86 and Kerosene at Sh191.38.
In Mombasa, motorists will continue paying Sh210.74 per litre for Super Petrol, Sh219.56 for Diesel and Sh188.09 for Kerosene.
In Kisumu, Super Petrol will retail at Sh213.69 per litre, Diesel at Sh223.08 and Kerosene at Sh191.63, with prices remaining unchanged from the previous review.
Motorists in Nakuru will continue paying about Sh214.53 per litre for petrol, Sh223.99 for diesel and around Sh192.53 for kerosene.
In Eldoret, Super Petrol will retail at approximately Sh214.18 per litre, Diesel at Sh223.61 and Kerosene at Sh192.15, maintaining the prices announced in the previous cycle.
In central Kenya, Nyeri residents will continue paying about Sh213.81 per litre for petrol, Sh223.23 for diesel and Sh191.77 for kerosene, while in Embu, Super Petrol will retail at about Sh213.70, Diesel at Sh223.12 and Kerosene at Sh191.66.
In Meru, motorists will continue paying around Sh214.23 per litre for petrol, Sh223.67 for diesel and Sh192.21 for kerosene.
In eastern Kenya, Kitui motorists will continue paying approximately Sh214.42 per litre for petrol, Sh223.87 for diesel and Sh192.41 for kerosene, while those in Mwingi will pay slightly higher prices due to transport costs.
Fuel prices also remain among the highest in parts of northern Kenya because of transport logistics. In Lamu, Super Petrol will retail at about Sh216.18 per litre, Diesel at Sh225.77 and Kerosene at Sh194.31, while motorists in Hola will continue paying approximately Sh216.57 for petrol, Sh226.18 for diesel and Sh194.72 for kerosene.
Similarly, in Taveta, motorists will continue paying around Sh214.64 per litre for Super Petrol, Sh224.11 for Diesel and Sh192.65 for Kerosene.
EPRA said the prices are inclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT), in line with the VAT Act, the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024 and Legal Notice No. 128 of July 14, 2026.
The regulator said the average landed cost of imported Super Petrol stood at US$886.92 per cubic metre in June, while Diesel averaged US$984.37 and Kerosene US$1,028.17 per cubic metre.
EPRA attributed the decision to retain pump prices to government intervention aimed at shielding consumers from fluctuations in international oil markets.
"The situation in the Middle East remains uncertain, creating high price volatility and as a result, the Government has extended the 8 per cent VAT on petroleum products for a further three months and utilised Sh945 million from the Petroleum Development Levy Fund to ensure pump price stability," the Authority said.
Kenya imports all its petroleum products in refined form, with local pump prices determined by international fuel prices, the exchange rate and other statutory costs.
According to EPRA, the petroleum pricing regulations are intended to cap retail fuel prices while allowing importers and marketers to recover prudently incurred costs and ensuring consumers are protected from excessive price increases.
