The latest fuel pump prices hike is a double blow to Kenyans who are already reeling from high food prices. On average, Kenyans consume about 126,294,000 litres of petrol, 203,080,000 litres of diesel and 122,723,000 litres of kerosene. This means with the jump in prices, Kenyans will spend Sh2 billion more in the next one month. Following the latest price review, petrol will retail above Sh100 per litre mark in most parts of the country with Mandera bearing the brunt at Sh114.08 per litre. According to data from ERC, every month Kenyans consume about 126.3 litres of petrol, 203.080 million litres of diesel and 123 million litres of kerosene.
