Energy has announced December's fuel price adjustments, set to kick-in on Wednesday.

Petrol users will be paying 71 cents more for a litre.

Diesel goes up by between 57 cents and 60 cents a litre depending on the grade.

The department's Robert Maake says the Rand/Dollar exchange and the international oil prices were the main contributing factors to the hikes.
