Google Jet Fleet Loses a Pentagon Fuel Perk

Google has been buying jet fuel for it's fleet from the government at ultra-low government prices, enriching the founders while cheating the taxpayers.

Google Inc. GOOG -0.35% founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin may have to dig deeper to operate their fleet of private jets, after the U.S. Department of Defense ended a little-known arrangement that for years allowed the tech billionaires to travel on sharply discounted jet fuel bought from the Pentagon.

That's how crony capitalism works.
