Yes they do. Where do you think plastic comes from? Production of raw materials, transportation of materials and manufacturing all consume oil, before the car is even built. Then you have to use diesel fuel to transport the car, either by ship, train or truck. Plus any kind of lubrication or hydraulic system uses oil.
