EPA standards for WaterSense certification is 1.28 gpf, 1.6 gpf is the old 1992 standard. Having replaced two in my home in 2013 and two in Cape Cod this summer, I can affirm that the $160 toilets available at the Blue Apron or Orange Apron bigbox as well as Amazon, specifically the Kohler Wellworth and American Standard Cadet 3's work very well.
BTW, I flash beginning at dusk. Sometimes it is just a knog light, sometimes a 3 bulb LED, depending on which bike.
