In the report, EPRA noted that the average landed cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by 4.25%, dropping from US$619.14 per cubic meter in October 2025 to US$592.84 per cubic meter in November 2025.
In contrast, the cost of Diesel rose by 3.02%, increasing from US$635.05 per cubic meter to US$654.24 per cubic meter during the same period.
Additionally, Kerosene saw a 5.52% price increase, rising from US$632.16 per cubic meter to US$667.05 per cubic meter.
Global commodity prices
The review follows a recent decline in global oil prices. During a press conference on December 10, 2025, CBK Governor Kamau Thugge stated that international oil prices have moderated due to increased production and subdued global demand.
However, prices remain volatile due to elevated global uncertainties. The OPEC+ producers raised oil output by 137,000 barrels per day in November and December 2025.
Additionally, robust non-OPEC oil production has increased the oil supply.
In its weekly bulletin, the CBK attributed the decline in international oil prices to increased oil inventories and ongoing negotiations on the Ukraine-Russia peace talks, with Murban oil trading at USD 62.97 per barrel on December 11, down from USD 64.33 per barrel on December 4.
October and November Fuel Review
During the November pricing cycle, EPRA also announced that the prices of Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene would remain unchanged.
In Nairobi, these products maintained the same prices as in the previous cycle, retailing at Ksh 184.52 for Super Petrol, Ksh 171.47 for Diesel, and Ksh 154.78 for Kerosene.
