less outdoor air flow rate, increased gas consumption

hello, I have a 100% OA HVAC system. When I change the min OA flow rate to a small value and make maximum flow rate autosized in controller:outdoor air object, somehow I get increased gas consumptipn. I couldn't find a reason why its happening because with less OA, system should use more return air so there should be gas saving especially in winter months.

Thank you
