Counted from OpenStreetMap on 19 August 2026 inside a box 15 km either side of the city centre — not the administrative city, which on a large one reaches well past that. These are counts of what drivers have mapped, not a survey of the city: a station that sells diesel but carries no diesel tag is not in the diesel number. If something is missing, open the map and it can be fixed.

Nairobi's forecourts, Rubis, TotalEnergies, Shell (Vivo), Ola and National Oil, spread along Mombasa Road, Thika Road and the Southern Bypass. EPRA sets monthly maximum prices, and most stations charge exactly the cap. EV charging is emerging via BasiGo buses and early public points.

Local tips

  • Prices equal the monthly EPRA cap nearly everywhere; convenience wins.
  • Thika Road and bypass stations are fastest; CBD pumps are cramped.
  • Fill before Rift Valley road trips; escarpment stations are sparse.

Only 26 of the 362 stations mapped in Nairobi say whether they sell diesel. The rest probably do; nobody has recorded it. See Nairobi on the map →

Find fuel and charging near you, in seconds

Finding fuel needs no account. Confirming that a station has fuel, or that a charger works, is one tap and stays anonymous. Posting a price, a comment or opening hours needs a free Google sign-in — that is what puts a real, named person behind the figure.

Why Refuelia

The only honest map of fuel & EV — worldwide

Where there’s really fuel and a really working charger, right now. Prices come from drivers — someone types in what they actually paid, so it is real, timestamped, and missing until somebody posts it. We never invent a number. Fuel and EV together, worldwide, free.

What a pin can say

Fuel available
a driver confirmed it, and the card says when
Limited fuel
some grades out, or a queue at the pump
No fuel
somebody stood there and told us
Open by its timetable
the posted hours say open. Nobody has checked
No fresh report
and the map says so, rather than guessing

Every other map draws the first one and stops. The last two are the point: when nobody has checked, this map says nobody has checked, instead of guessing green.
