I agree with Maichblack and bwenyenye on this coz Tanzania also has a port but the cost of fuel there is about Tshs 2100 equivalent to about kshs 119!!!

The regulation may have been a blessing in disguise, even if many fail to see it. It's always important to use history to see what multinationals would be charging. Lets remember the external factors like the Arabian uprising. I think it would have been worse had there been no regulation. Problem is we are too quick to blame someone. If so, blame the Arabs.

The best way to handle this fuel crisis, at least psychologically, is to position oneself to buy fuel at shs. 150 per liter. This way you will feel the prices are way discounted, albeit not for too long. I know, some of you will call this illusion. Our world is full of illusions anayway. We sometimes live on hope, which for the discerning, is absolutely empty, but this keeps us going. Much like the fabled bird of the desert which upon sensing danger burries its head in the sand, and feels real safe, when all the while its fully exposed to the danger it is hiding from.
