U.S. legal minimum is 40 flight hours, but the average is closer to 80. Living in the Washington, DC area is worse because it takes me 20-minutes to get outside the restricted area before I can do any training maneuvers. That means 40 minutes 'wasted' each time I fly.

I had 115 hrs when I took my PPL checkride.
