If so, how much?

I basically always do, but I always have reservations about it, because in a way I feel like I should just pay the general fare, so if it's like 8 or 12 or 15 dollars, I don't really see it justified to have to pay them extra.

On longer drives, fine, but just short 10 minute rides or so? I never feel right about it.

Mmm, yeah that might be too much, and the worst part is that some guys genuinely get ticked off at you if you don't give them a tip or if you just give them 2 or 3 dollars, it's like they expect more and then have a scowl on their face when you leave.

I've started tipping less if the cab smells like ass, the back seats are small, the driver talks on his phone the whole time, or if he asks me to recommend the route with the least traffic when he should be using Waze for that.

That's usually because of robbery concerns, there have been many issues where drivers were assaulted because taxi drivers usually have their earnings lying around in the front, so it makes it easy for thugs to try to take advantage of it.

That's a great way to handle it. A lot of people I know when they have to take taxis with me usually end up getting nauseated because the car odor is so strong.
