The Official Pump Price Formulae
This is the official methodology as stipulated in the Energy (Petroleum Pricing) Regulations, 2022 by EPRA.
Overview
The Authority undertakes retail pricing of petroleum products (Diesel, Super Petrol and Kerosene) as stipulated in the Energy (Petroleum Pricing) Regulations, 2022. The Pricing Regulations introduced a formula that EPRA uses in determining the maximum wholesale and retail pump prices of Super Petrol, Regular Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene (the Regulated Products) as follows:
Landed Cost
The landed cost of petroleum products shall be determined as follows:
- Cl is the weighted average cost in Kenya shillings per litre of petroleum products imported through the G-to-G/OTS through a gazetted primary storage depot;
- Virp is the volume in litres of a cargo of petroleum product imported through the G-to-G/OTS and discharged at the port of Mombasa from the 10th day of the previous month to the 9th day of the pricing month;
- Cirp is the unit cost of a cargo of petroleum product imported through the G-to-G/OTS and discharged at the port of Mombasa from the 10th day of the previous month to the 9th day of the pricing month in Kenya Shillings per litre;
Wholesale Prices
The maximum wholesale price of petroleum products in Kenya Shillings per litre shall be determined as the sum of the following:
Pw = Cl + Jhc + Cp + Lps + Pt - Lpt + Css + Lss + Cf + Mw + Y + T + VAT
Where—
- Pw = the maximum wholesale price
- Cl = the landed cost of imported petroleum products
Retail Prices
For super petrol, kerosene and automotive diesel, the Pricing formula used is: The maximum retail price of petroleum products shall be the sum of the following –
Pr = Pw + Ts + Mri + Mro + VAT
Where –
- Pr is the maximum retail price of petroleum products

Why is fuel expensive in Kenya?
Fuel prices in Kenya are high due to a combination of factors: the landed cost of imported crude oil, government taxes and levies (which form a significant portion), and distribution and marketing margins.
How much is a full tank of petrol?
The cost of a full tank depends on your car's tank size and the fuel price in your town. For example, a 50-litre tank at KSh --.-- per litre would cost KSh ----. Use our 'Ultimate Journey & Fuel Planner' for a precise cost based on your car model.
How to calculate fuel cost for a trip?
To calculate your trip's fuel cost, divide the distance of your trip (in km) by your car's fuel economy (in km/L) to get the litres needed. Then, multiply the litres by the fuel price per litre. Our 'Ultimate Journey & Fuel Planner' automates this for you.
Who controls fuel prices in Kenya?
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) is the government body responsible for regulating, monitoring, and setting the maximum retail fuel prices in Kenya. They release a new price guide every month.
Where does Kenya buy its fuel from?
Kenya imports refined petroleum products primarily from the Middle East (like UAE and Saudi Arabia) and sometimes from other markets like India, through a government-to-government (G-to-G) arrangement or an Open Tender System (OTS).
How much profit do petrol stations make per litre in Kenya?
EPRA regulates the margins for oil marketing companies and retailers. The retail margin, which covers the petrol station's operational costs and profit, is typically set at around KSh 8.13 per litre, but this can be adjusted in the monthly reviews.
How many kilometers does 1 litre of petrol last?
This depends entirely on your car's fuel efficiency (mileage). A small, efficient car might get 15-20 km per litre, while a larger SUV might only get 7-10 km per litre. Check your car's manual or use our Journey Planner for estimates.
What will reduce fuel consumption?
You can improve fuel efficiency by: ensuring your tires are properly inflated, maintaining your vehicle regularly, avoiding aggressive driving (sudden acceleration and braking), reducing excess weight in the car, and minimizing idling.
Which fuel is more efficient, petrol or diesel?
Diesel engines are generally more fuel-efficient than petrol engines, meaning they can travel more kilometers per litre. However, the cost of diesel fuel and the vehicle's purchase price should also be considered in the overall running cost.
How much petrol is required for a 100 km trip?
This depends on your car's mileage. If your car averages 10 km/L, you will need 10 litres for a 100 km trip. If it averages 15 km/L, you will need about 6.7 litres. Use our Journey Planner for a precise calculation.
How do I calculate my car's fuel economy (km/L)?
The most accurate way is the full tank method. Fill your tank and reset your trip meter. Drive until the tank is nearly empty, then refill it completely. Note the kilometres driven and the litres used to refill. Divide kilometres by litres to get your km/L.
What is kerosene used for?
In Kenya, kerosene is primarily used for lighting and cooking in households, especially in areas without access to electricity or LPG. Its price is also regulated by EPRA to ensure affordability.
Are fuel prices the same across the whole country?
No. While EPRA sets the base price, the final retail price varies from town to town. This is mainly due to transportation costs from the main depot in Mombasa to other parts of the country. Towns further from Mombasa generally have higher fuel prices.
