Skoda, Czech automaker is upgrading two petrol variants of its Fabia car in an effort to augment fuel efficiency.

"We plan to upgrade our technology in two petrol models of Fabia so that our customers get better fuel efficiency," Skoda said in a statement.

Skoda said it is going ahead with the technology upgradation because of fuel price hike in India in the wake of the recently spiralling world crude rates.

"We at Skoda believe in keeping our customers' interests at the forefront of decision making," the statement added.

There have been reports that Skoda is withdrawing its petrol version of the Fabia hatchback to rectify a technical fault that is taking a toll on the car's fuel performance. However, the company denied it, saying, "we are not recalling the Fabia petrol cars. We are only improving engine performance and fuel consumption through a software upgrade. This will happen at the time of routine service or earlier," it said.
