The speed is relative to the gas and its density.

It depends what kind of gas you're talking about.

At 0 °C and 1 ATM pressure:

Light travels at 299704644.53915 metres per second through air.

Light has been slowed to down to 38 mph when passed through chilled sodium gas. Light has even been stopped to a halt.
