I configure my gateway in the following manner, and have never had a 
problem with sub-interfaces picking it up multiple times:

/etc/sysconfig/network
----------------------
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=saladin
GATEWAY=10.0.0.254

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*
-----------------------------------------
NO GATEWAY entry

IMO this is more technically correct, as the default gateway is a 
system-wide setting, not an interface-dependant setting.
