I only take them when I'm going 10+ blocks, and it's never less than 7. I love it, so I rarely have to stomache to bargain if they say 10. Also depends on if it's commuter hour.
Last week, I was at YuYuan, which was a zoo. A guy offered to take me to the Huangpi metro station for 10rmb - I was hopping on and a Chinese person told me I was paying too much. Should have been about 5rmb. It was snowing and crowded. I was just happy to be getting home in less time than a cab would have taken.
