Kenyan motorists will now save some shillings after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) revised pump prices.

In its April 2025 review, EPRA announced a drop in the prices of super petrol, diesel and kerosene.

The regulator announced a drop of KSh 1.95, KSh 2,2 and KSh 2.4 per litre of super petrol, diesel, and kerosene, respectively.

Motorists and households in Nairobi will now pay KSh 174.63 per litre of super petrol, KSh 164.86 per litre of diesel, and KSh 148.99 per litre of kerosene.

"We have calculated the maximum retail prices of petroleum products, which will be in force from 15th April 2025 to 14th May 2025.

"In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene decreases by KSh 1.95/litre, KSh 2.20/litre, and KSh 2.40/litre, respectively," read EPRA's report in part.

In Mombasa, motorists and households will pay KSh 171.39 per litre of super petrol, KSh 161.62 per litre of diesel and KSh 145.75 per litre of kerosene.

Motorists will spend more for super petrol and diesel at KSh 174.67 per litre and KSh 165.24 per litre respectively, while households spent KSh 149.42 per litre of kerosene.

According to EPRA, the average landed cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by 4.89% from $637.22 (KSh 82,616) per cubic metre in February 2025 to $606.06 (KSh 78,576) per cubic metre in March 2025.

Diesel landed cost declined by 6.45% from $680.63 (KSh 88,244) per cubic metre to $636.75 (KSh 82,555) per cubic metre, while Kerosene decreased by 6.53% from $672.14 (KSh 87,143) per cubic metre to $628.22 (KSh 81,449) over the same period.

This came after global oil prices reported a significant drop in April, with Brent crude falling to $66 per barrel and WTI to $61.50.

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude has dropped to $61.50 per barrel as of April 11, 2025.

Speaking exclusively to , economist Daniel Kathali attributed the drop in global fuel prices to changes in the US policies on tariffs.

"The decline can be partly attributed to weakened demand from major markets like China. The expectation is that the escalating tariffs, which Trump hinted at following his re-election, have and will continue to cause economic tensions and fears of a global economic slowdown," said Kathali.

In March 2025, EPRA revised earnings for oil dealers, retailers and transporters.

The change in the oil margins caused jitters among Kenyans as the majority projected an increase in pump prices.

However, the Petroleum Outlets Association of Kenya (POAK) chair Martin Chomba explained to that the changes will not affect pump prices.
