I would think it would go by % over EPA. I do know this can have problems, as one can say their EPA is 2 mpg, and when they get 45 mpg, they are at the top, or helping their team so much. This was just a thought I have had for a while. I didn't see a better place to post, and don't really like starting new threads for something so pety/kind of purposeless.
I had a look at how Ben coded the garage. Currently you can change the sort order of the results by clicking on some of the various column headers/categories. Unfortunately it's not a quick change to make % over EPA a sortable category.

But it's a good idea, so I'll add it to the to-do list. MPG will remain the default sort order, but anyone wishing to will also be able to click "% over EPA" to view that ranking instead.

(Note: I've got a lot on my plate, so this likely won't happen for a week or 2.)
