Amazing! - How long has this -separate- command been in existence? I
have been doing this by hand since Stata 3.

Starting from where you left off: 

. separate mpg, by(mpg>20) 

              storage  display     value
variable name   type   format      label      variable label
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
mpg0            float  %8.0g                  mpg, !(mpg>20)
mpg1            float  %8.0g                  mpg, mpg>20

. egen group = group(mfg), label 

. gen group2 = group + cond(year == 1990, -0.2, 0.2) 

. twoway scatter mpg group
, yla(0(5)40, ang(h)) xla(1/9, notick valuelabel) ms(none) 
|| bar mpg0 group2 , base(0) barw(0.4)
|| bar mpg1 group2 ,
base(0) bcolor(yellow) barw(0.4) legend(off) ytitle(Miles per gallon) 

Old Stata saying: "When you run into a wall with -graph bar-, jump over
it with a -twoway bar-." (Loses a bit in translation from British.)
