Hmmmm. I've turned mine off and back on a dozen or so times. Never paid
no mind as to how fast i opened the valve.

I'd wondered that also. I've shut off gas before the meter, just have to
turn it on very very slowly until you hear the gas start to flow. And then
leave it for several seconds, so the system pressurizes slowly.

Why would the gas co. have to turn it back on if you all turned it off?
The
valve turns just as easy both ways.
