1 on the fastest route: Naglikondan.
About 21 litres for a car doing 15 km/l (₹2,275 at Yercaud prices). A hatchback at 18 km/l needs ~17 L; an SUV at 11 km/l needs ~29 L.
Around ₹2,355 one way for a petrol sedan (fuel ₹2,275 + toll ₹80), or ₹4,710 for a same-day return. Split between four people that is ₹589 each, one way.
Plan on about 5 h 40 min including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 4 h 12 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹260, 3-axle ₹305, 4–6 axle ₹415, 7+ axle ₹500 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Mahabalipuram to Yercaud toll is the same ~₹80 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Mahabalipuram'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.
