I'll remember that next time I have 12 place settings sitting there, but to use 27 ga;;ons of water you would have to have the tap running nearly the whole time! I take the largest pan or bowl that needs to be washed, fill it with hot soapy water and wash, until I have a pile of clean soapy dishes, then I rinse those and keep washing, 27 gallons would be nearly 13 minutes of letting the faucet run at full blast (1992 Federal Energy Policy Act, 2.2gpm or less from all faucets), so I'm not sure who they had wash their dishes, but this study seems a bit skewed.
