Remembering that you are running for about 8 min. but walking for about 20.

The short answer is YES! But, think of it this way, just as you said, if you can run a mile in 8 minutes, well, you are now buring about 700 calories an hour. Whereas, if you walk a 20 minute mile, you are only burning 300 calories in that same hour.
So, it's up to you - do what your body can handle or what your level of fitness can handle but running is the better choice - to some extent - it's harder on your joints but will give you results much faster. I do a fair bit of running & stay on a tm a lot so it's easier on my body.

The scientists, headed by Jill A. Kanaley, PhD in the Department of Exercise Science, found that the women expended about 105 calories while running versus only 74 when walking. The men had similar results of 124 calories when running compared with just 88 calories burned while walking. (Med Sci Sports Exerc.2004 Dec;36(12):2128-34). That seems like a big difference, but it is actually even larger. To get the true number of calories burned from exercise, you must subtract the calories you would have consumed at rest. After taking away those “resting” calories, the net calorie burn for the women was 91 running versus 43 walking. For the men the net calories burned was 105 running versus 52 walking. So, in reality, the subjects were burning more than twice the calories when running versus walking.

No. working a mile you may burn greater energy. you may think of it might even out in view which you're walking for an prolonged quantity of time, however the potential you're utilising by utilising working burns a pair of million/3 greater energy.

no! this is simple high school science, you burn like 5 cals per liter of oxygen inhaled and you will no doubt be breathing heavier when running! so, more cals are burned when running

I have heard this is indeed true, but personally I have my doubts as when your body is stressed it surely must exert more energy, for example say, to cool itself.
