Interesting that this thread is placed next to the "A330 fuel burn???" on the home page at the moment 
I was under the impression that the Aerobat was a regular 150 with a beefed up fuselage and inverted fuel/oil supply, but I could be wrong. I have a Kershner book at home that features this a/c and I'll take a look if I can find it.

Lycoming AO-235. Ther 'A' prefix denotes it's an aerobatic version . Not as aerobatic as some of their other engines which have a slightly different prefix (AEO-xxx). It's been a while it might be the AEO prefix that applies to the A152. Can't remember.
About 25 L/hr. A bit more if you're going flat chat, less if you're flying for range.
Vy is about 65 kts (67?) at SL, reducing with altitude.
149 L useable although there's a smaller tank version too with about 90L (I seem to recall).

Check which version you want.
They have been made with O-200, O-235 or O-240 engines.
A rule of thumb says for 65% cruise - litres/hour=cubic inches/10
e.g. 20, 23 or 24 litres/hour for the above machines
You'll use a bit more fuel (and oil) if aerobatting them
