Tankless water heater installation costs around $1200. But, they save money each year in energy costs, so, it is possible to recoup the money over time.

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.
* In the US approximately 40% of all domestic water consumed is flushed down the toilet. * an old-style single flush toilet can use up to 5.5 gallons (20 liters) of water in one flush, whereas more water efficient dual flush toilets average less than 1 gallon (4 liters) * replacing a traditional single flush toilet with a water efficient dual flush toilet saves about 21 gallons (80 liters) per person per day.
no less then 40,000 gallons per year
A leaking toilet can lead to water damage to the flooring and surrounding areas. It can also waste a significant amount of water, causing higher water bills. If left unresolved, it can lead to more serious issues like mold growth and structural damage.
Older toilets used from 3 to 6 gallons of water to flush. The new technology, most of which are now mandated by local and state codes use from 1.28 gallons to 1.6 gallons per flush. Additionally there are brands on the market that offer 1 and 2 stage flush options. Stage 1 for liquid waste and uses the least amount of water stage 2 for solid waste. Thers are still variations on dependibility of these low flush toilets and they vary from brand to brand.
typically these two problems are caused by two different things. A running toilet is most commonly caused by a leaking flapper (when you push down on the flush handle a chain lifts the flapper and lets the water escape the tank and "flush' into the bowl.) a water spurt is usually caused by a faulty fill valve (the part in the tank that attaches to the water supply and fills the tank after it is flushed.) with an 8 year old toilet both of these parts would most likely be worn out, either thru age or use.

one roll of toilet paper uses about 0.8 pounds of water
Holds about 5 gallon and uses about 3 per flush.
You cannot flush tampons down any toilet. Although tampon manufacturers claim their products are flushable they say this to make their products seem more convenient and don't care about what they can do to the sewage system: blocking the toilet or pipes further-up the system, which can cost billions per year for water authorities to fix. Furthermore tampons can bypass sewage treatment and make it into the sea. Always wrap-up your tampons and throw in the bin.
