What is the going rate for cab fare NYC to Hoboken?

I remember last year cab fare between NYC and Hoboken was 40.00. Now it has gone up which I don't necessarily have a problem with. But the last two times I've taken a NYC taxi back home to Hoboken, I've had the following experience: I negotiate a flat fare before getting in the taxi, and then when I get to my front door the cab drivers start balking about tolls and additional fare. Quite frankly, it steams me and although I always try to be polite, I usually leave the cab feeling cranky, tired, on the verge of being cheated and biting my tongue not to send the cabbie to that hot place, down under.

What have your experiences been and does anyone know the going rate?

Thanks!! (Oh, PS, last night I paid $50 flat.)
