PA38 Query

Can anyone please help with a quick answer to how much total fuel and useable fuel a PA38 (Tomahawk) holds? Also, what is a typical consumption for planning purposes?
Thanks PJ

Sincere thanks for this.
Must say I am surprised as top the relatively low burn. I had assumed nearer 28LPH at approx 90kts.
Cheers PJ

We use the same figures as Dude65 quoted with the varation that in the properly leaned cruise you can plan 20 LPH.
