Depending on the model, toilets can flush anywhere from .6 (low-flow) to 1.6 (standard now) to 3.5 (older toilets).
Gate Tube Toilet Water Saver test conducted at the Stevens Institute of Technology, Center for Environmental Systems in Hoboken N.J., confirm:
A 2011 WaterSense designated 1.28 GPF Glacier Bay toilet fixture consumes on average 1.52 gallons per complete cycle.
A 1997 WaterSense designated 1.6 GPF American Standard toilet consumes on average 2.07 gallons per complete cycle.
A 3.5 gallon American Standard toilet consumes 4.23 to 4.31 gallons per complete cycle.
Consumers should be aware that Gallons Per Flush (GPF) does not a represent the total gallons consumed for a complete flush and refill cycle.

Compared to a 30 year old toilet? An amazing amount (I just installed two such toilets, replacing 30-year-old models). These are dual flush, and in the low flush mode - perfectly adequate for 70% of flushes - they use 1.3 gallons. The old toilets used almost 4 gallons per flush. A saving of 2.7 gallons per flush, times (how many??) flushes per day, times 365: You are easily talking thousands of gallons a year.
5 billion gallons per year
depends on the kind of toilet and where you live. today's standard in America is 1.6 gallons. more efficient models will use 1.28 gallons. some even have a dual-flush option, 0.8 gallons for #1 and 1.6 gallons for #2.
