What is the average distance between known solar systems?

We sure do a lot of space calculation, to not have this number laying around, but I haven't been able to find it. I figure if anybody has enough autism to answer it, I could find the answer here.

My guess is that the average solar system distance, is beyond a specific minimum Hill Sphere distance, else-wise two solar systems would be considered one.
Ergo, the average distance between any two nearby solar systems MUST be greater than a specific Hill Sphere to star mass ratio, right?
Can someone at least throw the equation at me, if we don't have the known number? I'll go figure it out myself from data sets, if I have to.
