Save some green on gas this long weekend with Yahoo Widgets

With the long weekend coming upon U.S. readers, many of whom will be driving somewhere to enjoy some rest and relaxation, let Yahoo Widgets save you some coin on gas.

The Gas Alert Savings widget built for Yahoo Widgets is a great tool to check on the latest gas prices right from your desktop. Plug in your zip code, mile radius, gas grade preference and sort by either price or location, and the widget will pump out the gas station locations as well as their current price.

Here's a list of the top 10 highest prices in the country:

1. Alaska - $3.07/gallon
2. North Dakota $3.05/gallon
3. Michigan - $2.95/gallon
4. Illinois - $2.95/gallon
5. Nebraska - $2.955/gallon
6. Wisconsin - $2.947/gallon
7. South Dakota - $2.946/gallon
8. New York - $2.923/gallon
9. Montana - $2.918/gallon
10. Minnesota - $2.910/gallon

With the AAA saying that gas prices are averaging $2.75 per gallon, every little cent can help. The gas savings widget was put together by Automotive.com.
