Not sure, but Redbook lists 6.8 L/100km highway and 14.1 L/100km city. Combined is 9.5L/100km.
It could be the weight of the car with a smaller motor that causes the higher fuel consumption. The big selling point for the wagon I think is the large cargo area - both length and height.

Good luck trying to get 6.8 l/100 km!!! Best I ever managed was 8, and I had to try hard to achieve that. 9 is probably more realistic.
They can be thirsty in urban driving, but not too bad if you take it easy. Certainly better than a BA Falcon!
The diesel is a much nicer car to drive. But if you want a big, comfortable car and don't mind the slightly leisurely performance, a good 2.3 is a bargain. Don't try towing anything heavy though.
