Whenever I’m in the states and see the urinal “American Standard” 1 gpf (gallon per flush) I cry in Australian.

American Standard sells urinals with water use as low as 1/8 (0.125) gallons per flush.

(I only thought of this because the urinals at the companies I've worked at over the past decade proudly displayed these 1/8-gallon numbers.
