Differnce between diesel oil and gasoline engine oil

Hello all,
When purchasing oil for my 240d, I've noticed the oil sold for diesel engines is remarkably cheaper in price than the oil refined for gasoline engines. And I'm not referring to sale prices.
A 5 dollar difference on average when purchasing the 5 gallon container.
Anyone know why?
Not synthetic, just basic everyday oil to each type of vehicle.
I bought Mobil Delvac for $13.99 - 5 gallon jug. Whereas the cheapest basic oil for gasoline engine was Quaker State was 18.99 - 5 gallon jug.
Also, not looking to turn this into a debate about which oil is better, etc.
Just wondering, is it refined less?
Thanks
