About 89 litres for a car doing 15 km/l (₹10,151 at Munnar prices). A hatchback at 18 km/l needs ~74 L; an SUV at 11 km/l needs ~121 L.
Around ₹11,431 one way for a petrol sedan (fuel ₹10,151 + toll ₹1,280), or ₹22,312 for a same-day return. Split between four people that is ₹2,858 each, one way.
Plan on about 24 h 55 min including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 17 h 48 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹4,370, 3-axle ₹5,650, 4–6 axle ₹7,055, 7+ axle ₹8,350 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Visakhapatnam to Munnar toll is the same ~₹1,280 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Visakhapatnam'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.
