The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced that fuel prices will remain unchanged for the period between Wednesday, October 15, and Friday, November 14.
In the latest price review issued on Tuesday, the regulator stated that motorists in Nairobi will continue to pay Ksh184.52 for Super Petrol, Ksh171.47 for Diesel, and Ksh154.78 for Kerosene.
In the previous monthly review, the cost of Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene went down by Ksh0.79, Ksh0.11, and Ksh0.80 per litre, respectively.
"In accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, we have calculated the maximum retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from 15th October 2025 to 14th November 2025," announced EPRA in part.

"In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene remain unchanged. In Nairobi, Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene now retail at Kshs.184.52, Kshs.171.47 and Kshs.154.78 effective midnight for the next 30 days."
EPRA added that 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.
The regulator, however, reported that the average landed cost of Super Petrol dropped slightly by 0.10 per cent, from Ksh 80,218 (USD 620.84) per cubic metre in August to Ksh 80,141.21 (USD 620.24) in September 2025.
In contrast, the cost of Diesel rose by 1.57 per cent — from Ksh 79,345.28 (USD 614.08) to Ksh 80,594.74 (USD 623.75) per cubic metre — while Kerosene recorded a 2.97 per cent increase, climbing from Ksh 78,765.12 (USD 609.59) to Ksh 81,107.70 (USD 627.72) per cubic metre.
Even with the higher import costs for Diesel and Kerosene, pump prices were kept steady, indicating that EPRA factored in other elements such as exchange rates and stabilization buffers in the October review.
Kenya still imports all its petroleum products in refined form, meaning local prices remain heavily influenced by fluctuations in the global oil market. This means any fluctuation in international crude oil prices or shifts in the global supply chain directly affect pump prices locally.
EPRA factors in global crude price trends, shipping costs, and the prevailing exchange rate when adjusting prices.
For ordinary Kenyans, this linkage means higher global prices or a weaker shilling quickly translates into steeper fuel costs at home—raising transport fares, commodity prices, and the overall cost of living almost immediately.
