Kenyan drivers finally caught a break because the regulator actually lowered pump costs. The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority slashed super petrol tags by two shillings while diesel and kerosene slid down one shilling per unit. This adjustment brings slight savings for everyone feeling the pinch at gas stations nationwide.
Nairobi residents will pay one hundred eighty-two point five two shillings for premium fuel. Diesel sits at one seventy point four seven while kerosene costs one fifty-three point seven eight inside the capital. Coastal folks in Mombasa pay slightly less for petrol, trading at one eighty point two four, and diesel going for one sixty-seven point one nine.
The agency clarified that these figures include the painful sixteen percent value-added tax plus other government levies. They credited falling international import charges for this tiny relief. Global rates for brought-in refined products dipped recently, which allowed them to pass some pennies back to locals.
Diesel landing fees dropped over four percent while kerosene import prices crashed nearly nine percent last month. Super petrol barely budged but still decreased just enough to matter. These updated rates stick around until the next evaluation happens in mid-February 2026.
