You pay, I pay, we all pay. These company's are out of control and a poster boys for state run energy business's. Another triumph for capitalism. Should they pay, yes, will they pay doubtful. But if they do you can count on them passing the cost down to us the consumer. So, while it puts more money into the government it does not solve the over bareing problem. They will still seek out record profits and just find another way to get them.

No. Oil alterations don't seem to be an unforeseen fee. Much like fuel. That argument COULD be made if car coverage protected regular mechanical failure. But, it does not. So, it might actually keep neither the manufacturer nor the shoppers' coverage charges any cash whatever in overlaying preventative offerings, like oil alterations. It might quite simply be a perk for the buyer.

First answer makes a good point. Now, the oil companies do pay the Government royalties. But, that is under the table in their pocket money.

The oil companies do not pay anything we the consumer pay, if they pay higher taxes guess what? we pay higher prices that's how the system work I wish economics was stressed more in our public schools.
