Natural gas is just gas that consists high levels of methane, making it primarily a clean-renewable resource. It is also very flammable.
given the fact that it is a gas, one would use the fact that all gas spreads out. Gas molecules are moving very fast, and is very light and not dense. Therefore, it does not "travel" and basically fills up a tube until its space-molecule ratio is satisfied.
If the space to fill up is "smaller", then the gas would travel slower, as the overal place's pressure is increased.
If the place to fill up is "bigger", then the gas would travel faster, as the overal place's pressure is lowered [therefore nothing is impeding its progress to "fill up"
As to how fast it travels to fill up a place...? Yes very very fast. No matter what the pressure is. There is just a slight difference, depending on an area's pressure. Gases are the fastest state of matter, and will be the first to fill up "nothingness"// There is no place in the world with nothingness.

It travels at the speed of gas.

I just let one go, I figure ten or twelve feet away.

depends on its pressure.
