Diesel prices have dropped by the highest margin in four years in the latest monthly pricing review, as consumers gain from a sharp drop in global prices of refined fuel and a strengthening shilling.

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) cut diesel prices by Sh6.08 to Sh173.10 per litre in Nairobi and by Sh3 for a litre of super petrol to Sh189.84. A litre of kerosene fell by Sh5.71 to sell for Sh163.05 effective Friday midnight.
