B737 fuel comsumption increase

Hello

Forgive my ignorance, i know that in B737-800 in case of hyd system A failure, we cannot retract the gear and the fuel consumption will increase about %90

can anyone give me a rule of thumb of the fuel consumption increase in case of Sys B failure and we have to divert after a go around and the trailing edge flaps are stuck at position 15 and leading edge flaps are up ?

How would you be in that configuration?

Perhaps thats how Flight Sim deals with alternate flap retraction!

Just look at the fuel consumption and use basic calculations to work it out.
