Motorists across the country will continue to pay varying prices for fuel from Saturday, August 15, with diesel becoming cheaper by Sh5 per litre while the prices of petrol and kerosene remain unchanged.
The new maximum pump prices announced by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) will apply until September 14.
In Nairobi, a litre of Super Petrol will retail at a maximum of Sh214.03, diesel at Sh217.86 and kerosene at Sh191.38.
The capital is among the towns where fuel prices are relatively lower compared with areas far from the Coast because of transportation costs.

The highest prices in the schedule are recorded in Mandera, where petrol will retail at Sh234.68, diesel at Sh240.04 and kerosene at Sh213.56 per litre.
EPRA said the price variations are largely influenced by the cost of transporting petroleum products from the importation point to different parts of the country.
The regulator said the government had provided Sh938 million in additional stabilisation support, allowing petrol and kerosene prices to remain unchanged despite changes in international market costs.
“The maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Diesel decrease by Sh5.00/litre while the price of Super Petrol and Kerosene remain unchanged,” EPRA said.
The new prices are inclusive of VAT and will remain in force for the one-month pricing cycle ending September 14.
