EPRA Announces Fuel Prices for October and November Cycle

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced the maximum retail prices of petroleum products, which will be in force from October 15, 2025, to November 14, 2025.

EPRA, in a review released on Tuesday, October 14, announced that the prices of Super Petrol, Kerosene, and Diesel will remain unchanged in the cycle. 

“In accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, we have calculated the maximum wholesale and retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from 15th October 2025 to 14th November 2025,” EPRA said.

“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 Ksh184.52, Ksh171.47, and Ksh154.78, effective midnight for the next 30 days.

In Mombasa, the prices will retail as follows: Super Petrol at Sh181.21, Diesel at Ksh168.19, and Kerosene at Ksh151.49. In Nakuru, Super Petrol will cost Ksh183.56, Diesel Ksh170.87, and Kerosene Ksh154.21.

Super Petrol will retail at Ksh 184.38, Diesel at Ksh 171.68, and Kerosene at Ksh 155.03 in Eldoret. Meanwhile, in Kisumu, the fuel prices for Super Petrol are Ksh 184.37, Diesel is Ksh 171.68, and Kerosene is Ksh 155.03.

EPRA said 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 average landed cost of Super Petrol decreased by 0.10 per cent from Ksh80,218 (USD 620.84) per cubic metre in August to Ksh80,141.21 (USD 620.24) in September 2025.

Diesel, however, rose by 1.57 per cent from Ksh79,345.28 (USD 614.08) to Ksh80,594.74 (USD 623.75) per cubic metre over the same period.

Kerosene increased by 2.97 per cent from Ksh78,765.12 (USD 609.59) to Ksh81,107.70 (USD 627.72) per cubic metre.

Global Oil Prices Drop

The review comes just days after global oil prices dropped. Prices fell by more than $2 per barrel, or about 4%, on Friday, October 10.

The decline followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat of a “massive increase” in tariffs on Chinese goods and his suggestion that he could cancel his upcoming meeting with President Xi Jinping.

The price decline was further compounded by persistent bearish sentiment driven by rising global oil supply, including increased output from both OPEC+ and non-OPEC producers.

In its Weekly Bulletin released on October 9, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) noted that international oil prices remained relatively steady as investors weighed a smaller-than-expected production increase by OPEC+ for November 2025 — a move that helped ease concerns about a potential supply glut.

Crude prices found support after OPEC+ agreed to a 137,000 bpd increase in its crude production target starting in November — less than market expectations of a potential 500,000 bpd boost.

OPEC+ is in the process of raising output by a further 1.66 million bpd to fully reverse the 2.2 million bpd production cut implemented in early 2024.

OPEC’s September crude production rose by 400,000 bpd to 29.05 million bpd, the highest level in two and a half years.

Easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East — particularly progress toward a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza — removed a key risk premium from oil prices, further contributing to the downward momentum.

Brent crude futures settled at $62.73 per barrel, down $2.49 or 3.82%, marking the lowest level since May 5.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude closed at $58.90 per barrel, down $2.61 or 4.24%, the lowest since early May.

Meanwhile, Murban crude prices rose slightly, settling at USD 66.80 per barrel on October 8, up from USD 65.59 on October 2.
