One rule of thumb I tend to go by is that your 1/4 mile time should be 1.57 times your 1/8 mile time. So, if you are trying to see what your 1/8 mile time should be, divide your known 1/4 mile time by 1.57 and you should get a fairly accurate answer.
Why this works, I don't know. It's not scientific, but it's a good estimate.
