Motorists in Kenya have heaved a sigh of relief after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced a reduction in fuel prices on Sunday, February 15.
According to a release by the regulator, the price of PMS (petrol) has been reduced by Sh4.24 per litre, diesel by Sh3.93, and kerosene by Sh1.00 per litre.
Super Petrol will now retail at a maximum of Sh178.25 per litre, Diesel at Sh166.54, and Kerosene at Sh152.80.
The new prices, which remain in effect until March 14, follow a drop in the cost of imported petroleum products between December 2025 and January 2026, EPRA noted.
“The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by 2.69% from $592.24 (Sh76,400) per cubic metre in December 2025 to $576.34 (Sh74,300) per cubic metre in January 2026. Diesel decreased by 6.37% from $626.75 (Sh80,900) per cubic metre to $586.80 (Sh75,700), while Kerosene decreased by 1.44% from $607.55 (Sh78,400) per cubic metre to $598.82 (Sh77,200) over the same period,” EPRA Director-General Daniel Kiptoo explained .
