1Opinion of the Court
BUCKLEY, Senior Judge:
Texaco Inc. and various other natural gas shippers that have firm transportation contracts with Mojave Pipeline Company (collectively “Texaco”), petition the court to vacate Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC” or “Commission”) orders mandating that Mojave set its rates according to the straight fixed-variable method.
