Gas ranges in the US are seen as premium. So lots of new construction in the mid+ tier comes with that by default. I don't know of anybody who chose gas because it was cheaper (a range uses so little gas that sometimes it does not even register on the meter, if that is your only gas appliance). Almost everyone chooses it because historically the typical electric range was the dog slow kind and gas is so much nicer to cook with.
