Kenyan drivers face higher gasoline costs after regulators raised prices. The Energy and Petroleum Regulation Authority added 2.69 shillings per liter to super petrol. Gas stations charge 177.42 shillings per liter for the next 30 days. Diesel and kerosene became cheaper with price cuts of 1.95 and 2.06 shillings. The new rates start June 15 and end July 14.
Import costs explain the price changes across different fuel types. Super petrol shipping expenses rose from 588.16 to 590.24 dollars per cubic meter. Diesel import costs fell from 594.60 to 580.23 dollars during the same period. Kerosene prices dropped from 599.84 to 569 dollars per cubic meter. All prices contain 16 percent government tax as required under current laws.
Fuel prices stayed the same during May after April changes took effect. Monthly reviews consider global oil markets and transportation expenses. The authority tries to balance consumer costs with business profits. Kenya imports most petroleum products from overseas suppliers. Price adjustments affect household budgets and business operations nationwide.
