As a followup, here is one solution based on Scott's suggested code below:

sysuse auto,clear
reg price mpg
margins , at(mpg=(5(5)50))
marginsplot
serset use
twoway(connected _margin _ci_lb _ci_ub  __000000, mlabel( _margin ))

This can obviously be modified, but it works!

This is an excellent catch, Scott! Thank you (and Nick and Roger) for your
replies!

Can see the data set that -marginsplot- use by calling -serset use-  :

sysuse auto,clear
reg price mpg
margins , at(mpg=(5(5)50))
marginsplot
serset use
