In Nairobi, Super Petrol will retail at a maximum of KSh214.03 per litre, Diesel at KSh217.86, and Kerosene at KSh191.38.

EPRA Fuel Prices for July–August Cycle
EPRA announced the fuel prices for the July–August pricing cycle, which took effect on July 15 and remained in force until August 14.
In its monthly review released on July 14, the regulator said the maximum allowed pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene would remain unchanged during the 30-day period.
In Nairobi, Super Petrol continued to retail at KSh214.03 per litre, while Diesel remained at KSh222.86 and Kerosene at KSh191.38 per litre.
The review came amid renewed volatility in international oil markets. Global crude prices had fallen sharply in June after oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz recovered, but prices began climbing again in early July as renewed conflict in the Middle East raised fresh concerns about oil supplies and shipping routes.
Brent crude, which had fallen to about $68 per barrel in early July, later climbed to about $77 per barrel after fresh attacks in the Gulf, raising concerns about potential disruptions to crude supplies and maritime transport through the strategic waterway.
Markets were also watching OPEC+ decisions, as members agreed to increase oil production from August while retaining the option to adjust output based on developments in global market conditions.
