Modern swedish toilets use 2 and 4 litres for small and big flush. Thats 0.5 and 1 gallon.
Flushing power? Or maybe so poo doesn't stick to the bowl increasing toilet cleaning? Ha, no idea.
but youre in PT
Either we are a wasteful bunch with shit for brains, OR we are a resourceful bunch who don't like shit in our drains.
I think the latter applies, but I am biased.

Most modern toilets sold these days have a low-flow system. I think you are referring to toilet bowls from older houses. Many Americans will put a brick in their toilet tank to reduce the amount of water filling the bowel.
Another explanation is our MONSTER American shits. We are so filled with high calorie genetically modified foods that our dueces are basically the size of "little junior". we need that power to get the bitch down the drain.
also many cities have waste water facilities sufficient enough to RE-USE toilet water and clean it back into drinkable water. So a big flush is no big deal.

I hate that people displace the tank water using some heavy submerged object. For whatever reason, any time I come across a tank that has a brick, or container of sand/stone in it, they ALWAYS have some form of funky growth on it, and the parts inside have it as well.
Most fill valves are adjustable so you can lower how high the water fills, and the "regular" flappers used in American Standard type toilets have higher quality versions that are adjustable as well, to close sooner/later to allow less/more water to flow into the tank during the flush. Mansfield's and some other brands have funky flappers that are non adjustable though, so fill valve adjustment is the only way.
More info than anyone probably cares to know/read about toilet parts... but I manage maintenance on 150 beach houses/condos, so i deal with this on the reg and felt the need to vent my frustration when you brought up the brick thing

but im still 'murica
I don't think there's an "american toilet" or "british toilet", are you guys high? There ARE a multitude of toilet designs with every company having their own swing at the 'standard' idea of the toilet. The toilet water level has nothing to do with the toilet's nationality and has more to do with how it was designed, but the main idea of the toilet water is to keep the gases from the septic tank or the sewer line to come up the pipes and out the toilet and not to catch your disgusting poop. If the toilet water dried up, your whole bathroom would stink up.
