Consumers of super petrol have once again been denied a price drop of Sh8.54 per litre after the State opted to share the burden of subsiding diesel in a strategy to keep pump prices low.

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) on Wednesday said that consumers of super will pay Sh8.54 per litre to cushion diesel users after the State opted to extend the fuel subsidy into the New Year.
