Thats the official cap. However I have put in as much as 21 when topping it off.
Its not recommended, but when you are driving cross country, and you want to strech your ability to run... I sometimes top off.
Generally, you can put in anywhere between 1-2.5 gal over the capacity when you account for the neck of the fuel tank un any car.

25-26 on highway driving keeping it at 85 or less. Go faster and the MPG goes down. Go 55-65, and it gos up to 27-28MPG.
