The clicking noise is being caused by worn plastic teeth on a gear mechanicsm inside of the electrical door actuator. While it may still open the fuel door, the message here is that it will ultimately fail, leaving you to use the emergency door opener tab in the trunk.
The actuator (Saab part number 85 91 224 I believe)is fairly easy to replace, and you can usually find these items on e-bay for much less that the $120 cost of a new one. You remove the tool kit in the trunk and then pull back the trunk carpeting adjacent to the fuel door. The actuator bolts to a frame and has an electrical connector. This is probably about a 20 minute job overall.
