Kerosene is not as popular as it used to be. Its demands have gone down, but whenever there is a temperature dip there is a sudden demand for Kerosene and the prices increase with the increase in demand! The cost of Kerosene is more expensive than gasoline because it is refined oil. The refined products cost more so Kerosene is more expensive!
Reasons for high prices
Kerosene prices are determined by its demand, supply, and availability. The highest prices occur during times when there is a high demand for Kerosene, like during winter when people use it as heating oils. When the supply falls, prices decrease. This happens to every oil but Kerosene is an expensive fuel that costs around $1.01 per litre.

Uses of Kerosene
Kerosene is a common fuel in less developed countries, and has many different uses among the people. We use it to heat our homes in the winter, get it from petroleum, and use it to light lamps and domestic heaters. Kerosene is also used in industrial furnaces to produce heat. ..
Kerosene is a fuel used in jet engines and as an insecticide too. It is a solvent so we use it to clean objects. As we use it as jet fuel, we can also use it to power rocket engines. The Kerosene we use in jets or aeroplanes is called aviation Kerosene and it is also known as QAV-1. We can use it for every other object for flight purposes, equipped with turbine engines like pure jets and turbofans.
Kerosene is a fuel used widely in developing and low-income countries for cooking, lighting and heating. It is also used in a few developed countries.
Why do we need to use refined Kerosene?
Refining oil is important in order to make it work properly and give out heat and light. It directly impacts the calorific value and ignition temperature of any oil. The more refined oil burns quickly in small amounts, leaving no traces of smoke, ashes, or gases. The less refined oil has impurities that when burned will leave behind gases like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, etc in large amounts. Apart from gases, it leaves black residue and ash on burning. It also gives off a lot of smoke when burned. It is dangerous for the person who is allergic to smoke, dust, etc., but there are no problems with refined oil. It burns cleanly to give clear flame and light! ..
Kerosene is a type of oil that is heavier than gasoline or other oil. This makes it ideal for burning and heating purposes. refining the oil brings its weight down, making it more efficient.
What can we do to bring the prices down?
We need to create a new supply of Kerosene in order to bring the prices down. We can do this by choosing to lower the demand or by creating a new supply. Lowering the demand will create an option for consumers to use more Kerosene, which will lower the price for refining and transport.
Kerosene is an important oil and it’s important to keep the consumption going. We need to lower the prices to do that. ..
Conclusion
Kerosene is a valuable commodity in less developed countries. It has many uses, including lighting and cooking. In recent years, its prices have soared and people are finding it difficult to afford it without paying too much for it. Kerosene is a valuable resource that is essential for many domestic tasks in these countries. However, the high cost of Kerosene has made it difficult for people to afford it without spending a lot of money.
Kerosene is an important part of industry and is used in many ways. It is used as a cleaning agent for stains, as an engine fuel for jet planes and aeroplanes, and to bring down the prices people should use it wisely. If people don’t understand how to use it wisely, then it will be difficult to bring its prices down! ..
Frequently asked questions

Wait for the lanterns or heaters to burn completely before adding more unnecessarily.
The countries that use Kerosene are the United States, Great Britain, and France.
Countries like Japan, India, Iran, etc use kerosene widely.
Yes, Kerosene can be used to run vehicles.
