Of course Fizeau's experiment showed that as the index of refraction of 
a material approached 1, its effect on the speed of light became less 
and less relevant.

The difference between the speed of light in a good laboratory vacuum 
and the theoretical speed of light in a "perfect" vacuum is unmeasurable.
