You bought the wrong car to worry about gas mileage... lol especially being an m4. remember u got 8 cylinders under the hood and none of that displacement on demand crap so 
theyre called muscle cars for a reason, and that includes eating gas lol

Or, you could do what I did for gas mileage. I got a 1989 CRX. The first tank got me 45.7 mpg without breaking a sweat.
I'm not sure I like all those truck bumpers at eye level now, though...

with 2.73's and averaging 75mph work commuting (along with some "city" driving) I pull off 22mpg give or take. Rivals my 6 cyl Olds and sometimes beats it.

I use to get horrible gas mileage cuz i had a heavy foot. So i decided to try keeping the car under 2k rpms at all times and it made a huge differance. When i fill up im usually around 325miles on the trip and the car takes a lil under 14 gallons of gas. It's got 62k miles on it and its an auto, never had a tune up, i change the oil reguarly thats it i probably should clean the k&n filter cuz thats been on for 30k miles now lol.

Do you think it would be able to improve your gas mileage with a custom tune from a shop?
Like I'm looking to go full bolt on as soon as a have the money free and once that is done I'll be getting a tune to get every last bit of hp out of the car. In doing this, is it possible to have them tune for better gas mileage?
I figure it would be, but I thought I'd ask!
Thanks guys
