Running a new gas line

I'd like to replace an existing electric range in the kitchen with gas. Anyone have a rough idea of a fair price to tie into an existing gas line in the attic?

Pipe, elbows, valves and yellow tape...it won't cost much if you can lay pipe.

Shouldn't be too much. Residential gas is such low pressure the materials should be relatively inexpensive

How far, what size pipe??

There is no fair price when having this shite done!
Paid $900 for mine. Was done by central plumbing. Very professional, but their guys won't work after 12 in an attic. That may change this time of the year though.
I called a bunch of places and some won't do it and some will. Most were at or near the $900 price. I have a line already in my attic, so they didn't have to run a line from outside in. Also, they did not run pipe. If I remember correctly it's a combo of yellow hose and flex pipe type stuff. They put a shut off Valve behind the stove.

Of course you can always pay someone to do this but a capable DIYer should be able to handle it rather easily.
All together the materials cost me just over $100. Added a 3/4" drop off the existing line that ran right past the range location in the attic. Took me about two hours.
Someone said use galvanized pipe. That's supposedly a no-no. The galvanized can flake off over time and cause problems with your appliances. You're supposed to use black iron pipe. You can find it at any hardware or box store.
