I usually love a challenge, this one gave me a run for my money.
First, the user manual and spec sheet can be viewed here: http://www.helpowl.com/manuals/GE/PTWN8055MMS/96039
The "gallons per load" rating is NOT listed anywhere.
Still, by definition a high efficiency washer will use about 14 to 15 gallons per load as compared to the 45 gallons that a standard washer would use.
This baby uses adaptive load detection so the amount of water used will vary and that's the rub.
I had to review around 30 web sites to find this info and then only by comparison to an equivalent washer...
It can use as little as 10 gallons per load and as much as 15.
