18 inches is code for electrical. Gas does not need to be that deep. Seems crazy I know, but I dont make the rules.
If you rent the ditch witch and run into a rock, go around it, gas line is flexible and does not care if it is straight.
A ditch witch makes 100 feet of ditch digging a couple hour job. Let the machine eat and hold on, it will cut through anything in your way (short of rock, but we covered that).
I echo Dan's suggestion of calling Digsafe, better safe than sorry. It is the law!
