Ooty is a hill destination: the last stretch climbs ghat roads, where mileage drops by roughly 15–25% and speeds fall sharply. Our fuel figures use flat-road mileage, so add a buffer.

Petrol is cheapest in Tamil Nadu (₹108.78/L) and dearest in Karnataka (₹111.30/L). Filling the ~27 litres you need in Tamil Nadu saves about ₹69 versus buying it all in Karnataka.
For the same sedan, fuel for one way costs ₹3,043 on petrol, ₹2,142 on diesel and about ₹1,172 on electric (public fast charging at ₹20/kWh; home charging is far cheaper). An EV with ~350 km real range needs about 1 charging stop on the way.
The pass costs ₹3,075 for 200 crossings (₹15.38 per crossing) on NHAI plazas. This trip uses 2 crossings one way — worth about ₹31 of pass value against ₹95 in regular fees. If you drive highways often, the pass pays off on this route.
Return within 24 hours and the car toll for the round trip is ₹140 instead of ₹190 — a 26% discount that FASTag applies automatically.
About ₹175 one way with FASTag across 3 plazas — ₹95 in published fees plus ~₹80 estimated for 1 plaza that don't publish rates. A return within 24 hours costs ₹300. Without FASTag you pay 1.25x by UPI: ₹219.

Plan on about 7 h 30 min including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 5 h 22 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹575, 3-axle ₹650, 4–6 axle ₹910, 7+ axle ₹1,105 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Ooty to Mangalore toll is the same ~₹175 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Ooty's state price.
