Around ₹16,926 one way for a petrol sedan (fuel ₹12,851 + toll ₹4,075), or ₹33,247 for a same-day return. Split between four people that is ₹4,232 each, one way.
Plan on about 28 h 25 min including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 20 h 20 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹13,520, 3-axle ₹17,150, 4–6 axle ₹21,585, 7+ axle ₹25,310 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Shimla to Lonavala toll is the same ~₹4,075 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Shimla's state price.
