The gas line is likely grounded on the house side of the meter. Stoves,
etc. have e3lectrical appurtenances which otherwise might shock you..

The gas line is "likely grounded " should not to be used as a
measure of confidence
to ground to a gas line . If something does happen you may not be around to
hear the words
"Oops I'm sorry, how was I expected to know!"
Don't assume anything

That`s correct. Plastic pipe is now sometimes used for gas and it
certainly won`t serve as a ground.

His question was about proximity of a ground rod to a gas line. My
answer was not to worry about ground rod proximity to a gas line so
long as he doesn`t short out the cathodic protection potential which is
imposed on a metal line on the feed side of the meter.
