Frequently asked questions
Which car uses the least fuel in Kenya?
Of the models in our database, the most economical are: Toyota Aqua 1.5L 4-cyl hybrid — 34.4 km/L, about KES 6.6 per km; Toyota Prius 1.8L 4-cyl hybrid — 30.8 km/L, about KES 7.4 per km; Toyota Passo 1.0L 3-cyl — 28 km/L, about KES 8.1 per km; Nissan Dayz 0.7L 3-cyl — 25.8 km/L, about KES 8.8 per km; Toyota Corolla Axio / Fielder 1.5L 4-cyl hybrid — 24 km/L, about KES 9.5 per km.
How do I work out fuel cost per km?
Divide the pump price by the car’s km per litre. At KES 226.96 a litre of petrol, a car doing 15 km/L costs about KES 15.1 per km, or about KES 22,700 for 1,500 km a month.
What is good fuel consumption for a car in Kenya?
18 km/L or better is very frugal (small cars and hybrids); 13–18 km/L is economical; 9.5–13 km/L is typical for SUVs and big saloons; under 8 km/L is thirsty. Factory figures are measured in ideal conditions — expect less in Nairobi traffic.
