I told him I disagreed and that prior trips had only cost me in the
range of $--$ and that I did not appreciate what appeared to be his?trying to?
pad the fare or take advantage of a tourist.? I told him that I was only
willing to pay the standard fare for the trip.? He backed down immediately
and said -- "ok, pay me whatever you think is fair"
Am I pinching pennies or correct in my handling of this matter in the
opinion of those of you who care to comment?

I think you handled it very appropriately. As a former cabbie, I know
their tricks and despise those who use them. When I chat with people on
planes en route to Vegas I give them the advice that you use - I tell them to
instruct the cabbie to use city streets if they are going to the Strip.
