Check the fill valve adjustment to make sure it is not over filling the toilet and allowing the water to run back down the overflow valve. An overflow valve leak can add from 1 to 25 percent to your water bill. To check for a leak, place talcum powder inside the tank. If you see the powder disappear into the overflow valve, you have a leak. To fix it, set the tank fill level to 1 inch below the overflow tube. If you would like to save even more water and want to put your repair money to better use by saving water and more money in the future change from a flappper valve to a dual flush valve I found this information at: http://www.dualflushkit.com/ A leaky flapper can just be one of the problems.

This tip is both easy and high return, good idea man.
