I believe the idea behind fuel efficient/hybrid parking spaces is to encourage people to buy such vehicles, so that they get the best parking available.
Problem is, it doesn't work when there's ONE space.
Re: such spaces being a trap... parking space hypermiling is hardly common. And, if someone has an inefficient vehicle and does want to hypermile in and out of the parking lot, they'll get more gains than an efficient vehicle, so the efficient vehicle getting the inefficient space, and saving the efficient space for an inefficient vehicle uses less fuel overall.
