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.

How much water do you save if installed a dual flush or new low water toilet?

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.
