Motorists have a reason to smile this festive season after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) reduced the per-litre prices of petrol and diesel by Ksh1.09 and Ksh2.83 respectively.
The price of a litre of kerosene has also gone down by Ksh1.75 in new prices announced Saturday, December 14.
Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene will now retail at Ksh109.50, Ksh101.78 and Ksh102.31 respectively in Nairobi starting midnight. The new prices take effect from December 15, 2019 to January 14, 2020.

Cost of imported Diesel also decreased by 3.36 per cent per cubic metre while Kerosene dipped by 3.75 per cent per cubic metre in November compared to October.
