People normally react with disgust, not rational calculation, to tolls. They'll drive in ways that not only discounts any value to their time, bu lt also in ways where the additional mileage costs more than the toll they're avoiding.

So, give it a chance and then ratchet up. $15 would certainly upset me.

Well, you probably wouldn't be paying $800/mo just to park in midtown as is then.

Guilty. I could make the math work for another mode of transportation very easily in that scenario..
