The infrastructure costs remain regardless of the fuel cost. If fuel prices plummeted the owners would still need to keep spending and material costs still could rise. Maybe a cap on the SC paid so the companies get enough and the customers don't get hit quite so hard.

I guess it comes down to knowing who owns what and where the money goes. And would people in some areas need to pay more SC if the infrastructure to supply them is "more expensive". (e.g. remote farm may have an almost exclusive "pipe" that could cost more than a house on a street with more shared infrastructure.)
