What's up with truck versus auto diesel pricing???

So I drove from Columbia, MO to near Pittsburgh, PA last week. (Nice that the 24 gallon tank can nearly take me the whole way!) As I went, I was checking fuel prices along the way to see where the cheapest place to stop the way back would be. Driving back through I made a stop in Indiana because the prices there was posted at something like $3.17. However, when I pulled in I found that the listed price was for trucks only - the "auto" diesel was $3.40 - what's up with that???

Is this a state by state thing, with some states deciding to tax less on trucks and more on cars, or what's the deal?
