We present asystematic study of experimental kinetic energy release distributions for the asymmetric fission processes Cq+60 C(iq-1\u3c)+70+ C+2 and C q+70 C(q-1)+60+ C+ 2 for mother ions incharge states q 4-8 produced incollisions with slow highly charged ions. Somewhat to our surprise, we find that the KERD for asymmetric fission from Cq+60 are considerably wider and have larger most likely values than the Cq+70 distributions inthe corresponding charge states when q \u3e 4
