Diesel drivers could be even worse off, with pump prices up by as much as 12p a litre by December.
The forecast comes following the price of Brent crude oil increasing by £13 a barrel since the middle of this year, up by about 20 per cent.
It prompted calls for Chancellor Philip Hammond to scrap a fuel duty rise in his Autumn Statement next week.
A barrel of oil is trading at more than $63 (US dollars), the highest since June 2015.
Simon Williams, the RAC's fuel spokesman, said: Motorists are going to be hit by rising pump prices in the next few weeks.
Further rises in petrol and diesel will boost inflation and put pressure on the Bank of England to raise interest rates again, he warned.
