When the government decided that 3 gallons was enough per flush and not the universal (at the time) 5 gallons; did you ever ask yourself why five gallons was universal?
Think hard. A seller of commodes could have made a three gallon unit at any time since Thomas Crapper invented the flush toilet and advertised, honestly, that it would save you money by using less water.
There are very few useful things that are wasteful just to be wasteful. The flush toilet is no exception. Through lengthy trial and error it was discovered that it took five gallons to reliably work. They would have loved to use less water because it would have taken less time to cycle.
Ever notice you often have to flush a 3 gallon unit twice to make your offer to Spurculious successfully? Isn't 2x3 more than 1x5?
