Another round of erratic fuel prices is in the offing after three oil dealers increased their pump prices by Sh2 a litre over the weekend. Kenol-Kobil, Total and Oilibya effected the price increase of unleaded premium petrol and low-sulphur diesel last week. They are now selling unleaded petrol at Sh76.90 and diesel at Sh71.90 per litre compared to Sh74.90 and Sh69.90 respectively two weeks ago. It is only Shell Kenya Limited which continued selling fuel at the old price of Sh74.90 a litre. A spot check by the Daily Nation at petrol stations within the Central Business District on Monday established that other competitors such as Caltex are yet to increase their prices for the two products. Oilibya has in the past month reduced the prices of Liquid Petroleum Gas by about Sh60. Unleaded premium petrol is mostly used by smaller vehicles and some makes of matatus while diesel is used by buses, lorries and most four-wheel-drive vehicles. Shell Kenya Limited was the first company to reduce by about Sh4 the price of their fuel in February. This forced other companies, which were then reluctant to lower their prices, to follow suit. Our efforts to get a comment from the oil firms were fruitless by the time of going to press.
