Each of them pays $135

Explanation:

For 500 km. car consumes 50 liters

Hence for 1 km. car consumes 50/500=1/10 liters

and for 4000 km. car consumes 1/10xx4000=400 liters

As 1 liter costs $1.35

400 liter costs $1.35xx400=$540

As Philip is going on a road trip with three of his friends to Disneyland, this should be split between 4 persons

and hence each of them pays $540/4=$135
