In the newer design toilets, an effective flush is achieved with about 1.3 gallons of water. That water is not "wasted", it is performing an important service. More water than is necessary to flush the bowl clean would be wasted, yes (older toilets). And that is why they were re-designed.
If you have an older style toilet (15 years or more) then you are flushing away about 18 litres of water per flush. All new toilets flush an average of 13 litres per flush and many even give the choice of a 6 or 13 litre flush with the use of a dual flush button. -In US and Canada people are incredibly wasteful of water in general. We use nearly 2-3 times per capita what most other countries use.
The correct answer is 1.6 gallons per flush for newer more efficient toilets, up to 4 or more gallons per flush for older toilets.
The average toilet today uses about 1.5 gallons of water per flush
Most modern toilets use 13 litres per flush. Many have an option for 6 litres.
About 10 gallons. That's a bit much. Usually 3.5 gallons for an older model and 1.6 for newer model.

Why do all of these small air bubbles like an Alkaselzter tablet keep flowing into the toilet after I flush it?
When you flush the toilet, the rapid movement of water creates turbulence that can disturb any trapped air bubbles. These bubbles can rise to the surface and be released into the water, creating the appearance of small bubbles flowing into the toilet. It is a natural consequence of the flushing process.
