EPRA noted that fuel prices stayed relatively stable throughout the review period.
The peak price for Petrol was Ksh186.31 per litre in July 2025, while the lowest was Ksh180.67 per litre.
While diesel prices reached a high of Ksh178.05 per litre and a low of Ksh171.58 per litre.
Kerosene prices recorded their highest price at Ksh165.34 per litre in November and the lowest at Ksh155.65 per litre in December 2025.
The prices of petroleum products were largely influenced by international market rates for their respective derivatives, which are set according to global benchmarks. EPRA explained that these factors account for the variations in domestic fuel prices.
“The fuel prices remained fairly steady during the review period, with the peak price for PMS at 186.31 Ksh. per litre in Julyand the lowest at 180.67 Ksh. per litre. AGO recorded a peak price of 178.05 Ksh. per litre and the lowest price of 171.58 Ksh. per litre while IK recorded a peak price of 165.34 Ksh. per litre in November and a low price of 155.65 Ksh. per litre in December,” part of the report read.
