@cnn - I am not sure how PIEA does the calcs or what the lag is... I need to look at the data...
I notice KK (& other majors) have stopped selling kerosene in many stations... I wonder if Kerosene is counted as 'fuel' sales?
The reason I think KK's market share will increase in 4Q 2011 (or even during 3Q 2011) was Deal Poa. I am sure many folks would rather fill up at KK to save the KShs 2-5 per litre!
Also the narrow margins for many retailers will kill off sales as cashflow problems hit the smaller firms... The 24% (or higher) interest rates are another nail in the coffin!
