Why does nobody talk about how much water a standard toilet flush uses?

I was reading the manual for my new Kohler toilet and it said each flush uses 1.6 gallons. I looked it up and found out older models from the 80s used over 5 gallons per flush. That's a huge drop in water use that just happened quietly. Do you think the newer low-flow models are actually effective, or do they just cause more problems?

The newer ones work fine if you get a good model. @the_linda is right about extra flushes though, that's the real test.

Ever notice how they never mention the extra flushes?

My friend's new model flooded after the third guest used it.
