It would be impossible to tell without a SG (Scan Gauge) but I'll go against the grain and say the longer trip provided there are more stops on the shorter one. If you can travel at around 40-45 MPH with no stops I think you could do better then stop and go from a cold start congested driving. Although 8 miles is a lot to make up.
