About 121 litres for a car doing 15 km/l (₹12,361 at Varanasi prices). A hatchback at 18 km/l needs ~101 L; an SUV at 11 km/l needs ~165 L.
Around ₹16,831 one way for a petrol sedan (fuel ₹12,361 + toll ₹4,470), or ₹31,953 for a same-day return. Split between four people that is ₹4,208 each, one way.
Plan on about 31 h 55 min including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 22 h 50 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹14,795, 3-axle ₹17,625, 4–6 axle ₹23,280, 7+ axle ₹28,245 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Bangalore to Varanasi toll is the same ~₹4,470 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Bangalore's state price.
Fees are revised every 1 April and some plazas change mid-year, so treat results as a close estimate. Spotted a wrong fee or a missing plaza? Tell us — we fix reported errors within 72 hours and log them on our corrections page.
