Crude prices dropped to sub $100/= and now they are at $80/=. Why the hell I'm I still paying Kshs. 110/= plus at the pump for a litre of petrol??? For how long are we supposed to pay for inefficiencies, corruption etc. And why exactly are Kenyans so silent when they are being shafted left right and center? The cost of energy impacts on EVERYTHING and it is amazing Kenyans don't feel the need to have a discussion on the same and demand for answers! Don't just sit there. Make some noise. Wherever, however. It might seem inconsequential but remember the butterfly effect from chaos theory
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

They still have oil bought at over $100 in their storage. Hence the small price reduction. If crude oil prices remain stable below $100 then there should be a further price reduction

We pay current world market price 'in arrears'. New pump price guide will be released on 14 November 2014

Actually the point raised is serious. Whenever the prices rise, the companies are ver fast at revising their prices upwards but not when it comes to revising them downwards. They always say like @jwatesh ati they have to finish what they had bought before. I have never heard a thing on why they cannot finish what the had in their tanks if they had bought it cheaper before increasing the prices upwards. If Kenyans do nothing, they will always be sc****d. I do not have the histroy but sometimes back even b4 the gava brought that famous tax ya fuel the price of the barrel had gone to more than 125$ there has been a reduction to 85$ about 40$ per barrel the best at calculations can tell us how much people are supposed to pay.

Canada and Mexico.. They get more than half of their crude Oil from those two. then the Gulf countries follow.

I thought the starter/initiator of this discussion had the answer since tne question marks "?" are missing. The more we keep quiet as some1 rightly put it, the more we are exploited. Let us join Omtata in the corridors of justice. Petrol should currently be selling at below 100/= at the pump.
The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.

Does it matter where you import crude from? There shouldn't be much difference between prices across all oil producing countries. Developed countries have a better supply chain management( fewer middle men) and of course better consumer protection laws!

Well put. Lack of Efficiency,transparency and consumer protection makes all the difference.

National Oil becomes first to set diesel price below 100, a shilling below regulator’s price http://www.businessdaily...2/-/8joou0z/-/index.html I found there's a concept called 'replacement cost profit' for oil companies which is the current cost of oil supplies. In a declining oil market, oil companies suffer losses from the stocks they hold. It appears ERC formulas protected importers a bit, at our expense of course.
