Taking into account the weighted average cost of imported refined petroleum products, ERC increased pump prices.Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene increased by Sh1.64, Sh4.96 and Sh5.88 per liter respectively.
Super Petrol will now retail at Sh108.81 per liter in Nairobi; Diesel at Sh103.60 and Kerosene at Sh84.10 per liter.
Super Petrol will now retail at Sh105.51 per liter in Mombasa, Diesel at Sh100.31 and Kerosene at Sh81.31 per liter.
