Petrol is cheapest in Karnataka (₹111.30/L) and dearest in Kerala (₹114.57/L). Filling the ~21 litres you need in Karnataka saves about ₹69 versus buying it all in Kerala.
For the same sedan, fuel for one way costs ₹2,413 on petrol, ₹1,720 on diesel and about ₹903 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.

About 21 litres for a car doing 15 km/l (₹2,413 at Wayanad prices). A hatchback at 18 km/l needs ~18 L; an SUV at 11 km/l needs ~29 L.
Around ₹2,588 one way for a petrol sedan (fuel ₹2,413 + toll ₹175), or ₹5,126 for a same-day return. Split between four people that is ₹647 each, one way.
Plan on about 5 h 40 min including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 4 h 11 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹580, 3-axle ₹655, 4–6 axle ₹915, 7+ axle ₹1,110 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Chikmagalur to Wayanad toll is the same ~₹175 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Chikmagalur's state price.
