I have a 1997 lincoln town car and if my guage says I have 18 miles until empty would I be able to go further past the 18 miles? Is there a reserve?

That would be an average calculation depending on a number of factors, personally I would not test this, it may be short and you could find your self stranded, also internal fuel pumps do not like running in low volume, they cavatate and over heat and this can cause pump failure, you should never let the tank run below 1/4 as a rule.
