Have you ever replaced a toilet in your home?
Hi-flow toilets which consume more water per flush, actually use 27% less water annually than lo-flow toilets which advertise very low water consumption per flush.

Interesting. I suppose it's because there's less feeling that a single flush pushes everything down the pipes and so people flush repeatedly more times.

It's mainly because low-flow toilets manufactured in North America are poorly designed, which subsequently requires multiple flushing by the user, hence using more water than an older hi-flow toilet which only requires one flush because of the slightly higher water consumption rate.

Yes, it is almost what you were saying. Except it's not a "less feeling that a single flush pushes everything down the pipes", it's a known mechanical fact within the industry that North American-made toilet designs are inferior to what's otherwise available in Europe and China.
