Energy briefing · Sources checked 23 September 2026
The fuel-price notice covering 15 September to 14 October 2026 is the relevant EPRA release for checking Kenya’s regulated retail petroleum prices during that period. The regulator’s notice links to the full price document.
The dates matter. A widely shared table from August, or a screenshot without its heading, can remain in circulation after the pricing period has changed. An undated number is a weak basis for comparing what a station is charging.
Make a like-for-like comparison
Identify the product first: super petrol, diesel and kerosene have separate entries. Then find the relevant town and confirm the effective period printed on the release. Use the official release archive to distinguish the current notice from earlier ones.
A maximum retail price should also be read as a ceiling for the relevant listing, not a statement that every transaction must take place at exactly that amount.
For a household or small-business budget
Keep litres purchased separate from money spent. If a delivery business spends more this week, that could reflect a higher unit price, a longer route or more trips. Recording both quantity and cost makes the comparison useful.
The linked EPRA document is the primary reference. Check for any subsequent correction or addendum. For a price complaint, keep the receipt, station location, product and purchase date so the issue can be described precisely.
