I dont get it. Prices are rising because fossil fuels are more expensive.

How do interest rate hikes fix that?

Flip the causality: fossil fuel (and everything else) prices are increasing because of an increased money supply. Raising the interest rate indirectly lowers the money supply.

prices are rising because we want to use the same amount of fuel as before

use less and the prices will be falling
