The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) has increased the cost of super petrol by Sh2.69 per litre, reversing the declining trend in the cost of petrol seen in more than a year. This is even as it reduced the retail cost for diesel by Sh1.95 per litre and kerosene by Sh2.06 per litre.

This will result in super petrol retailing at Sh177.32 per litre in Nairobi for the next month, up from Sh174.63 per litre over the May-June pricing cycle.
