Flat Tire Fix - How good is the plug?

My car has a tire that got recently fixed with a plug (sticky string type) when punctured by a nail. I drove about 100 miles mostly in a city since it got fixed and it's still holding the same pressure (36 psi). However, how safe/reliable is it in a long term? Can I drive in same highway speeds as before? I'm planning a long distance trip and just want to know if the plugging a tire is a temporary or permanent fix...

Thanks.
