Well actually it is being said that Avengers is set in 2010. As Feige states that a film doesn't always take place when it is released e.g. Captain America 1 and Gotg 2. I'm pretty sure the correct movie timeline is:

CA 1: 1942 IM: 2008 IM 2, Incredible Hulk and Thor: 2009 The Avengers: 2010 IM 3: 2013 Thor 2, CA 2, GotG and Gotg 2: 2014 The Avengers 2 and Ant-Man: 2015 Doctor Strange: 2016 CA 3 and Spider-Man: 2017

So it might not be exactly 8 years but like 7 years and something months
