That one I can answer.. Several states have adopted the tax plan of "Soak the businessman" cause "he is rich and can afford it".. Well,
I can tell you what is wrong with that but, politics are not encouraged here so I won't.
The result is that the taxes are HIGHER at the SEMI pumps than at the Automotive pumps. RV's are, usually, classed as "private" non-commercial, and thus eligible for the lower (Car) tax rate.
In at least one state the decision is based on weight (26,000 pounds is automotive, 26,000 pounds and one ounce.. Commercial rate)
SOME Auto/Truck stops will "Adjust" the pump price when you present either your RV loyalty card or other evidence of driving an RV, some .. You are stuck with the price on the pump you pumped from.
In fairness to the latter.. The kind of computer programming needed to be one of the former is kind of expensive.
