Saw the black pipe for water question, how about the other way around?

My house has some galvanized pipe used for gas. Have had some opinions
that the gas would corrode this pipe and only black is appropriate.
The city indicated that using galvanized for gas was not a code
violation though.

I would not worry about it. Our city follows International Mechanical Code.
I wish I had my code book handy so I could cite right out of the codes, but
the IMC requires gas pipe installed outdoors to be painted or to use
galvanized pipe. We have piped many large commercial jobs with galvanized
pipe, some jobs are hundreds of feet of pipe. Now granted, you are indoors,
but still it is no problem.
