Cool,
It might be improved a bit by adding a jitter to mpg:
sysuse auto,clear
gen wherex = 11
gen wherey = 3000
gen pipe = "|"
gen mpgjit = mpg + .4*invnorm(uniform())
twoway scatter mpg price , msize(small) || ///
scatter wherex price, ms(none) mlab(pipe) mlabcolor(black) ///
mlabpos(0) || ///
scatter mpgjit wherey , ms(none) mlab(pipe) mlabang(vertical)///
mlabcolor(black) mlabpos(0) || , ///
legend(off) yscale(noline) ylabel(none) xscale(noline) ///
xlabel(none) xtitle(Price)
