What’s the cost of fuel in Tanzania? In a notice dated Wednesday, September 6, EWURA noted a litre of petrol in Dar es Salaam would cost TSh 3,213 (KSh 187.17), up from TSh 3,199 (KSh 182). At the same time, it increased the cost of diesel to TSh 3,259 (KSh 189.85), up from TSh 2,935 (KSh 167). On the other hand, kerosene will retail at TSh 2,943 (KSh 171.44) from TSh 2,668 (KSh 155) a litre. “Changes in prices of petroleum products in September 2023 are mainly due to the increase in the world market prices by up to 21%, an increase in premiums for the importation of petroleum products by up to 62%, geopolitics in major oil producing countries (OPEC+),” it stated. Fuel prices in Kenya On Monday, August 14, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced new pump prices. The regulator announced that the prices for all fuel products remained unchanged effective Tuesday, August 15. “Super petrol, diesel and kerosene will retail at KSh 194.68, KSh 179.67 and KSh 169.48 effective midnight in Nairobi,” said EPRA. In the statement, EPRA retained fuel prices while re-introducing the subsidy component, which President William Ruto’s administration had abandoned during the May review. According to EPRA, introducing the subsidy component was meant to cushion Kenyans from the spike in fuel prices because of the increase in landing cost. Fuel prices in Rwanda Despite Rwanda being a landlocked country importing fuel through the Port of Mombasa, fuel in Kigali is cheaper than in Nairobi. In June, the Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority (RURA) announced a reduction in pump prices, citing a drop in global crude oil costs. “Fuel pump prices are revised downwards based on the adjustments at the international market of petroleum products,” RURA tweeted.
