WRT getting taxis from the queue at PVG, 180 is also the most I've paid this year. Since the taxi is almost surely captured by CCTV and the authorities know how long the ride is from PVG to Xuhui, I'd set a hard limit of Y200, unless the taxi is really nice.
You're right, and it's not that bad. Since PVG is the origin, seat availability is practically guaranteed.
