The pass costs ₹3,075 for 200 crossings (₹15.38 per crossing) on NHAI plazas. This trip uses 3 crossings one way — worth about ₹46 of pass value against ₹415 in regular fees. If you drive highways often, the pass pays off on this route.

About 20 litres for a car doing 15 km/l (₹2,193 at Bangalore prices). A hatchback at 18 km/l needs ~16 L; an SUV at 11 km/l needs ~27 L.

Plan on about 5 h 10 min including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 3 h 47 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹1,920, 3-axle ₹2,140, 4–6 axle ₹3,020, 7+ axle ₹3,670 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Ooty to Bangalore toll is the same ~₹575 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Ooty's state price.
