EPRA Announces Fuel Prices for February-March 2026
Kenyans can breathe a sigh of relief as the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced a reduction in fuel prices on Saturday, February 14.
EPRA decreased Super Petrol prices by Ksh4.24, Diesel by Ksh3.93, and Kerosene by Ksh1.00 in its most recent fuel review, with petrol priced at Ksh178.28, diesel at Ksh166.54, and kerosene at Ksh152.78, respectively.
The regulator said that the determined maximum retail pricing for petroleum products will be in effect from February 15 to March 14, this year.
According to EPRA, the prices include the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) in accordance with the Finance Act 2023 and the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024.
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 February 2026 to 14th March 2026. pic.twitter.com/eCUsCORQNt

EPRA also revealed that the average cost of imported super petrol has reduced by 2.69 percent, from Ksh76,288.03 per cubic metre in December last year to Ksh74,239.91 in January 2026.
Similarly, the cost of diesel fell by 6.37 percent from Ksh80,733.36 per cubic metre to Ksh75,587.29 per cubic metre, while the cost of kerosene fell by 1.44 percent from Ksh78,260.16 per cubic metre to Ksh77,135.62 per cubic metre during the same time.
“Currently, Kenya imports all its petroleum product requirements in refined form, and the products are traded in international markets based on a pricing benchmark,” EPRA revealed.
“Further, the trade of petroleum products in the international markets is denominated in United States Dollars, and an exchange rate is applied to convert the dollar to Kenyan shillings during the computation of local pump prices,” the regulator added.
Motorists in Mombasa will benefit from some of the country’s lowest prices, with Super Petrol priced at Ksh175.00 per litre, Diesel at Ksh163.26, and Kerosene at Ksh149.49.
Mombasa and neighbouring coastal counties may have lower prices due to the city’s strategic position as the primary entry point for imported petroleum supplies.

Additionally, in Eldoret, EPRA priced Super Petrol at Ksh178.15, Diesel at Ksh166.77 and Kerosene at Ksh153.03, marking a notable decline in fuel costs.
The latest announcement comes as a reprieve for many Kenyans, especially motorists who anticipated a hike in fuel prices following recent reports of the regulator’s plan to introduce new charges.
This is the second successive fuel price cut since the year began, with the update coming hardly a month after the regulator reduced fuel prices by Ksh2.00 for the January to February cycle.
