Fuel prices have remained unchanged in the latest monthly review by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA).

Motorists in Nairobi will thus continue paying a maximum of Ksh.176.58 for a litre of super petrol, Ksh.167.06 for diesel, and Ksh.151.39 for kerosene.

In Mombasa, Super Petrol will go for Ksh.173.34, Diesel (Ksh.163.82), and Kerosene (Ksh.148.15).

The costs for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene will be Ksh.176.62, Ksh.167.44, and Ksh.151.82 respectively in Kisumu.

In a statement issued on Friday, EPRA Director General Daniel Kiptoo said the unchanged retail prices of petroleum products will be in force from February 15 to March 14, 2025.

“The prices are inclusive of the 16% 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,” stated Kiptoo.

“The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol increased by 2.80% from US$611.69 per cubic metre in December 2024 to US$628.80 per cubic metre in January 2025; Diesel increased by 4.20% from US$644.10 per cubic metre to US$671.14 per cubic metre while Kerosene increased by 4.89% from US$649.64 per cubic metre to US$681.44 per cubic metre over the same period.”
