If I were have to run a 400km straight road, in terms of fuel efficiency. Which one would be better? No a/c, drag or whatever other factors involved.
Yaris going at
160kph/100mph = 2.5Hrs
Or
80kph/50mph = 5Hrs
The rule is to save as much fuel as possible.

??????
160kph for 2.5 hrs = road side suspension
What are you getting at here?

If you are trying to use as little fuel possible, stick with the speed that nets you more mpg.

Somewhere between 35 and 45 MPH, depending on the road and weather conditions, and any elevation changes.

You forget wind resistance. Higher the speed, the more it sucks.

60kmh in 5th gear is the best fuel saver. But you have no choice but to go faster at the slightest incline.

It's quite impossible to exclude drag, or "whatever other factors [are] involved."
The correct answer has been given several times already.
