The most charitable reframing I can think of is this:
Which costs more, driving to Brighton or eating a steak?
Almost everyone in the UK could intuit this, they might have to look up the distance.
The thing is that the answer doesn't result in a person choosing one or the other unless they're really, really poor.
On a nice summers' day I might drive to Brighton and then eat a steak whilst I'm there.
Actually, probably I'd get the train so that I can have a few pints. Hey, there's a thought.

We didn't have to compound those basic arithmetics with an ethical dimension :-)
